Description
Pilot was bred at Horticulture Research International (HRI) Wye College in the UK and released in 2001.
Pilot is a bittering hop that is commonly used only to bitter the beer during brewing, and not for too much flavor and aromas.
Specific aroma descriptors of the Pilot hop include lemon, spice and marmalade. Pilot has a wonderfully refreshing, clean and crisp bittering quality.
