Description
This is a blend of 80% Southern Aroma and 20% Southern Sublime.
South African hops are usually harvested in the late summer months, which is typically around late February into March.
Southern Tropic is a bittering hop that is commonly used only to bitter the beer during brewing, and not for too much flavor and aromas.
Southern Tropic is very fruit forward with sweet fruits of mango, plums, and grapefruit. Some brewers have described an aroma similar to Kool-Aid or Juicy Fruit. This hop works well with all hop-forward beers where tropical fruit characteristics are desired.
