Zeus

Zeus is a daughter of Nugget. Although genetically different, Zeus is often referred to as part of CTZ along with Columbus and Tomahawk, a trio of similar hops. The exact lineage of Zeus is unknown, however it is widely assumed that Brewer’s Gold and several undisclosed American varieties played significant parenting roles.

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

Zeus hops have aroma descriptors that include pungent, black pepper, licorice, and curry.

Some hops just taste better together. We recently analyzed [ 1 ] hundreds of the most popular beers to find which hops are commonly paired together. We found that Simcoe , Centennial , Amarillo & Cascade hops are commonly used alongside the Zeus hop. This is not a complete list, but should give you a good idea of what hops are commonly used together.
