Summer

This hop was discontinued, and it is not available for purchase.

Summer is the result of open pollination of a tetraploid Czech Saaz. It was bred in 1997 at Tasmanian Bushy Park Breeding Garden. 2017 was the last harvest of Summer by HPA, as it was retired.

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

Summer hops have delicate notes of grass, stone fruit (peach), passion fruit, and citrus. It showcases distinct apricot and melon characteristics in dry hopping applications. It is not as spicy as its Czech parent.
