Description

Sultana is a cross between Nugget, Zeus, and a USDA 19058 male. Its lineage is: 50% Nugget, 25% Zeus, and 25% 19058. Sultana was released as Denali in 2016, then renamed in 2019.

Sultana (Denali) is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process.

Sultana was formerly called Denali, however it is also called Nuggetzilla by some. This hop is rich in pineapple, citrus (often perceived as lemon), and pine flavors, though it can often come off as spicy as well.
