Idaho 7™

Idaho 7™ is an USA aroma hop owned by Jackson Hop Farm that has an alpha acid range from 9.5 to 15% and a beta acid range of 3.5-6%. It is playfully known as 007: The Golden Hop.

It has a high oil content that makes it ideal for dry hopping and whirlpool additions.

Idaho 7™ is a juicy tropical fruit and citrus bomb! There are notes of apricot, orange, red grapefruit and papaya all balanced with big notes of resin-y pine and then hints of floral and black tea.

It is a great choice for use in IPAs, Pale Ales, and Wheats.
