Herkules

Ariana is one of the relatively new special flavor varieties developed as part of the flavor hop breeding program at the Hop Research Center in Hüll. Ariana is a daughter of Herkules. It has particularly impressive agronomic properties, including a vigorous growth habit, very robust plant health and high yields. Since its approval in 2016, brewers have had access to this variety, which is perfectly suited for use as an aroma hop in almost every style of beer. A late addition in the brewhouse is possible, but it can serve as a flavor hop on the cold side as well. Particularly distinctive aromas, such as blackcurrant, grapefruit and gooseberry tend to dominate, depending upon the beer style, the amount of hops and the timing of the addition.

Callista is one of the relatively new special flavor varieties developed as part of the flavor hop breeding program at the Hop Research Center in Hüll. Callista is a descendant of the variety Hallertauer Tradition with good agronomic properties, including a strong growth habit, good plant health and excellent yields. With its unique nuances evoking fruit, Callista is particularly suitable for ales and heavily dry-hopped beers such as IPAs. Due to its low cohumulone content, Callista imparts an extremely mild, balanced bitterness with a pronounced hoppy aroma profile when added in the brewhouse. On the cold side of production, it imbues the beer with aromas of passionfruit, peaches and sweet berries, depending upon the beer style, the amount of hops and the timing of the addition.

Spalter

Diamant is a new premium aroma variety developed by the Hop Research Center in Hüll and was approved in 2020. Diamant is the daughter of the landrace variety Spalter. With an exceptional aroma, higher yield and a lower susceptibility to disease, it represents a superb alternative to Spalter or Saaz hops. Diamant is particularly suitable for every kind of lager beer because of its fresh, hoppy aroma profile. Depending upon the time of the addition in the brewing process, its high aroma potential can result in a pronounced, lightly floral and citrus note or in a subtle, pleasantly mild hop aroma.

The patented US variety Amarillo® VGXP01 from Virgil Gamache Farms (VGF) enriches the spectrum of special flavor hop varieties. Within just a few years, it has become one of the most successful hop varieties in the craft beer segment. The origins of this variety can be traced back to the early 1990s, to one of the large hop-growing regions in the United States, namely Washington State, in the northwestern part of the country. Amarillo® hops are characterized by their strong fruit and citrus aromas. When used for dry hopping, this hop imparts aromas reminiscent of stone fruit, orange and lemon to the beer, depending upon the beer style, the amount of hops and the timing of the addition. Together with HVG, Virgil Gamache Farms decided to cultivate Amarillo® in three hop growing regions in Germany, in order to satisfy the ongoing increase in demand. In-house as well as independent commercial brewing trials have demonstrated that German Amarillo® hops are equal in quality to US Amarillo® hops. More and more brewers are expressing interest in brewing with this hop due to its distinctive aroma profile.

Cascade was developed by the USDA breeding program in Oregon in 1972. Cascade is a classic American flavor variety. Its special aroma characteristics make it extremely popular with craft brewers. This variety has also been grown in the Hallertau since 2012, and it is currently being cultivated on approximately 78 ha. Due to its pronounced fruity and citrus-like aromas, Cascade has gained a reputation for being the "quintessential" variety for dry hopping. In-house brewing trials have shown that Hallertau Cascade hops are equal in quality to US Cascade hops.

Galena

Hallertauer Magnum was developed by the Hop Research Center in Hüll. It exhibits both a high yield and a vigorous growth habit. This high alpha variety is the daughter of US Galena and was approved in 1993. Due to its high bittering power, Hallertauer Magnum has quickly gained in importance and, as such, is primarily added at the beginning of the boil in the brewhouse. Beers brewed with Magnum exhibit a harmonious bitterness of medium intensity along with a slightly floral and spicy, herbal hop aroma.

Landrace

Hallertauer Mittelfrüh is an aroma variety. A traditional landrace, its origins lie in the world's largest hop growing region, the Hallertau. Many brewers value Hallertauer Mittelfrüh for its fine, classic hop aroma profile. It is primarily used to brew conventional Bavarian-style lagers. Hallertauer Mittelfrüh is a popular aroma variety despite its variable yields and strong susceptibility to wilt. This hop variety has been added to brew kettles for centuries.

Hallertauer Taurus was developed at the Hop Research Center in Hüll. It has a very high alpha-acid content. This high alpha hop was approved in 1995. Hallertauer Taurus is mainly used for bittering and is thus added at the beginning of the boil in the brewhouse. However, due to its high linalool content, this hop has also proven its value for dry hopping. Hallertauer Taurus hops give beer a harmonious, yet less pronounced bitterness. The aroma is subtle and uniform while spicy hop notes are evident in the flavor.
