Sussex

Alpha-Acid (%)

4.0 - 6.0

Description

Discovered in 2005, this hop variety is apparently the product of wild pollination. Sussex was found adjacent to a field where Pilot hops were grown so it may have some Pilot parentage. Sussex produces flavors similar to Fuggles, but it is distinct and has a unique essential oil profile.
