ST. Wolf is a modern hop variety developed by the Slovenian Institute of Hop Research and Brewing, one of Europe’s leading hop research centers.
This variety is known for its intense and complex aromatic profile, featuring elegant floral notes combined with sweet tropical fruit nuances. Distinct aromas of ripe mango, elderflower, and violet create a unique and expressive character in beer.
With a relatively high alpha acid content, ST. Wolf is a versatile hop suitable for both bittering and aroma additions. It also performs very well in dry hopping, enhancing fruity and floral characteristics.
It is particularly suitable for Pale Ales, aromatic IPAs, and experimental craft beers, where its complex aroma can truly stand out.
