USDA 008

Nugget is 008's mother and was crossed with another experimental male. 008 was selected from the Elite growing line during Hopsource that was hosted by the Brewers Association here at Yakima Valley Hops.

USDA 008 is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process.

USDA 008 is very fruit-forward with tangerine, meyer lemon, and stonefruit. There is a nice backdrop of fresh pine that makes it complex in a classic west coast IPA kind of way. Notes of green apple, peach, and mango are rounded out with grassy and subdued earth characteristics. A great choice for adding a new dynamic to West Coast IPAs and hoppy/hazy pale ales.
