Description

Released for commercial production in 1983, Olympic is a descendant of Brewer’s Gold, Fuggle and East Kent Golding.

Olympic is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process.

Olympic hops are primarily used as a bittering hop, however some subtle citrus and spice aroma characteristics have been noted.
