Profile
Limonadier hops are a testament to the innovative spirit of the craft brewing movement, particularly emerging from the fertile grounds of Quebec. Originating from the Double LL farm in St-Édouard-de-Lotbinière, these hops are a proud product of Canadian agriculture, boasting a lineage that includes the popular Cascade variety. As a dual-purpose hop, Limonadier is versatile in the brewing process, suitable for both bittering and aroma additions in a variety of beer styles such as Pale Ale, IPA, Saison, and Trappist.
The flavor profile of Limonadier is distinctively citrus-forward, with a pronounced lemon character that inspired its name. This lemon essence is complemented by notes of grapefruit, adding a zesty complexity to the hop's profile. Beyond the citrus realm, Limonadier surprises with a peculiar blend of very ripe mango and resinous pine, creating a "fruit bomb" sensation that can elevate the sensory experience of any brew.
