Description
Yakima Cluster is the daughter of Late Cluster and the granddaughter of Pacific Coast Cluster and was first grown in the US in 1957. The Late Cluster variety is a sister selection of L8 (USDA 65104), and Yakima Cluster (USDA 65102).
Yakima Cluster is a bittering hop that is commonly used only to bitter the beer during brewing, and not for too much flavor and aromas.
Traits of the Yakima Cluster hop include a moderate bittering, some earthy flavors and a flowery aroma with elements of sweet fruit. All Cluster hops are interchangeable in brewing and quality.
