Profile
This hop variety has been celebrated across the United States, with growers struggling to keep up with the increasing demand. Michigan Copper is described as a vigorous super-utility hop, boasting fragrant floral and tropical fruit aromas and flavors. It is an excellent choice for brewers looking to impart robust tropical fruit, citrus, melon, and papaya flavors, complemented by unique floral and peppery undertones. Given its aromatic properties, it's best utilized in late kettle, whirlpool, and dry hop stages, making it perfect for American-style IPAs, pale ales, and other hop-forward beers, allowing its fruity and tropical notes to take center stage.
