Hop Clone 18

Hop Clone 18 is a delicate aromatic variety with an alpha-acid content of approximately 3.5%. This medium-ripening hop features a soft and refined aroma with herbal, floral, and fruity notes, making it ideal for creating a noble bouquet in light beer styles, especially lagers and ales of all types.

Clone 18 is a national standard among aromatic hop varieties and accounts for up to 50% of the total cultivated area, although purebred plantings are rare.

Due to its high brewing qualities, Clone 18 is widely used by brewers to impart a refined aroma and balanced bitterness to beer. Its versatility allows this hop to be used in various beer styles, ensuring consistent quality and a distinctive aromatic profile.
