Apollo hops are known for their high alpha acid content, between 15% – 19%, and are typically used for its bittering qualities. This hop varietal was developed at the Hopsteiner Breeding Program from 2 experimental varietals; the new hop was further crossed with Zeus hops, and Apollo was born.
Apollo has a resinous hop flavor, with citrus notes, some earthy qualities, and a spiciness that may be apparent in the finish. The aroma features some orange and grapefruit citrus qualities with an earthy and slight spice note.
