Good base for ales.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nugget<\/strong> 14.4% alpha &#8211; High-alpha bittering hop with grassy, herbal aroma. Good base for ales.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Pellets<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>US Perle<\/strong> 7.5% &#8211; Dual purpose aromatic and bittering. Used in German-style brews, both ales and lagers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crystal<\/strong> 4.3% &#8211; Very aromatic Hallertau relative. Wonderful smells. Great for Continental brews.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brewers Gold<\/strong> 9.3% &#8211; a spicy bittering hop. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanguard<\/strong> 5.0% &#8211; Similar to Hallertau, good for German beers, both ales and lagers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cascade<\/strong> 7.8% &#8211; Duh&#8230;Citrusy and floral aromatic. Taste of the NW.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Palisades<\/strong> 8.0% &#8211; Still undecided. Seem to be more of a bittering hop than an aroma. Not the most pleasant aroma, so don&#8217;t use for single hopped beers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>US Goldings<\/strong> 4.9% &#8211; US relative of Kent Golding, a versatile aromatic hop used in everything from bitters to stouts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Millennium<\/strong> 15.9% &#8211; high alpha relative of Nugget with similar aroma.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My &#8220;inside guy&#8221; has again procured a bundle of hops for me as a Christmas present.
