Profile
Dana hops, originating from Slovenia, are a versatile dual-purpose variety, suitable for both bittering and aroma applications in beer brewing. This unique hop is a product of breeding between the Hallertauer Magnum and distinct Slovenian genetic hop germplasm. Not only does Dana boast excellent agronomic traits, making it a favorite among hop growers, but it also offers brewers a good value proposition. When used in brewing, it imparts a pleasant and intense hoppy aroma, coupled with a harmonic medium to slightly robust bitterness. This makes it an ideal choice for beers that require a balanced hop profile. Its subtle floral and citrus flavors make it especially suitable for beer styles like India Pale Ale and Extra Special Bitter.
