Cashmere Hops – American Hop with Melon, Lime and Tropical Fruit Aroma
SEO Description:
Cashmere hops are an American hop variety known for their soft, fruity and tropical aroma profile, making them ideal for modern hop-forward beers. They deliver distinctive notes of lemon, coconut, pineapple, melon and lime, contributing to bright and refreshing beers with a clear citrus and tropical character.
Thanks to their balanced composition, Cashmere hops can be used both for bittering and aroma, offering excellent versatility in brewing recipes. They are currently used by the Tripel Voodoo Brewery in San Francisco in their Stag Hop #2 beer, highlighting their growing popularity among craft brewers.
Chemically, Cashmere hops contain no farnesene and have roughly twice the humulene content of Cascade, a characteristic that contributes to their refined and complex aromatic profile.
This hop variety is particularly suitable for IPA, Pale Ale, New England IPA and other highly aromatic beer styles, where its tropical and citrus character can fully express itself.
