Profile

Lambic hops are a unique variety that have been specially aged for use in Lambic style ales. Originating from the United States of America, these hops have a distinct aroma profile that lends itself well to the unique characteristics of Lambic beers. The hop is a triploid hybrid of the English Fuggle, released in 1976 from the USDA breeding program. When it comes to the flavor and aroma profile of Lambic hops, they are primarily used in late boil additions, including dry hopping. The flavor profile is described as floral and fruity, with these aged hops being ideal for crafting sours.
