One of the world’s largest suppliers of hops, John I Haas added six new hops to the HAAS portfolio last week. These hops stem from farmers and hop breeders from across the globe, including Idaho to Oregon and all the way down to New Zealand.

The six new additions include:

• Nelson Sauvin – A powerfully aromatic hop with unique and surprising flavors, ranging from fruity white wine to tropical notes.
• Idaho 7 – A great dual purpose hop ripe with zesty oranges and tangerines reminiscent of marmalade.
• Motueka – This New Zealand hop offers moderate Alpha Acids (6-8%) and has a unique flavor and aroma of fresh tropical limes that can be incorporated into a number of styles.
• Triumph – A great lager hop with delicate fruit forward aromas.
• Strata – Offers a complex layer of aromas perfect for IPAs, Pale Ales, New England IPAs as well as dark beers and ales.
• Idaho Gem –  A “found” hop of unknown lineage, it has sweet, fruit-forward aromatic oils and a relatively high alpha.
