Description

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

Thought to be derived from Brewers Gold and sister to Zeus by Hopsteiner. Appears to have been discontinued.

Sun is a bittering hop that is commonly used only to bitter the beer during brewing, and not for too much flavor and aromas.
