Sovereign

Sovereign is a dwarf variety developed in 1995 at Wye College by Peter Darby with open pollination. It was released in 2004. It is a granddaughter of Pioneer.

Sovereign is an aroma hop that is typically used in only late boil additions, including dry hopping.

Sovereign hops have aroma descriptors that include pleasant but intense fruity flavors with mild floral, grassy, herbal, pear and mint characteristics. It is often used in conjunction with Goldings in English-style beers.
