Agnus

Agnus is a Czech grown dual purpose hop. It is primarily used as a bittering hop but can also successfully be used as a dry hop. 

It features strong spicy and herbal notes accented by woody aromatics. There are herbal notes of hay and mushrooms that are offset with lavender and menthol. It also features spicy feral notes of valerian, tobacco, thyme and lovage with sweet fruits like multivitamin juice and dried fruit.
