Description

Sticklebract is a triploid variety and a result of an open pollinated NZ First Choice. It was developed by New Zealand Horticultural Research Center at Riwaka and released in 1972.

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

Sticklebract was originally released as a high alpha bittering hop, but has become a dual-purpose variety characterized by citrus and pine flavors.
