Lemondrop does exactly what the name says, with a distinctive lemon-citrus character and a pleasant aroma. Its bright citrus and subtle herbal notes are perfect for sessionable beers. In ales it brings out a sweeter side, while it’s delicate and refined enough for quality lagers too.
Lemondrop is an aroma hop from Hopsteiner, bred from Cascade and formerly known as Experimental #01210. Expect aromas of lemon, mint, green tea and a hint of melon. It’s a unique flavour that other hops struggle to match.
