Profile
Sasquatch is a proprietary hop strain developed from a wild Canadian variety that was first found in Pemberton, British Columbia. It was first released to the public in 2018. This hop strain is named after the mythical Sasquatch creature, which is said to roam the forests of the Pacific Northwest.
Sasquatch hops are known for their complex flavor and aroma characteristics, which include notes of citrus, tropical fruit, pine, and earthy spice. They also have a relatively high alpha acid content, which makes them suitable for use in both bittering and aroma additions. Sasquatch hops are often used in hop-forward beer styles, such as IPAs, pale ales, and double IPAs, to add a distinctive aroma and flavor profile to the beer. Due to their popularity and limited availability, Sasquatch hops can be quite expensive and may be difficult to find outside of certain regions.
