Hop MANDARINA BAVARIA

A Hop Profile for Modern Craft Styles

"Mandarina Bavaria" from Grainrus Hmel is a premium choice for breweries focused on bold, expressive aromatics. This dual-purpose variety offers brewers the flexibility to experiment with a wide range of recipes, from crisp lagers to intense IPAs. With an alpha acid content of 6–8%, it provides a delicate bitterness that enhances, rather than overwhelms, the beer's underlying flavor profile.

Practical Applications in Brewing

The true value of this variety lies in its intense fruity and citrusy profile. In practice, Mandarina Bavaria excels during dry hopping. When added late in the process, it releases distinct notes of mandarin and sweet citrus, making it an essential component for NEIPA, Pale Ale, and fruit-forward lagers.

• Crop Resilience: Due to selective breeding, the variety is resistant to verticillium wilt, simplifying cultivation and ensuring consistent, high-quality yields.
• Versatility in the Brewhouse: Its dual-purpose nature allows brewers to use the pellets both in the boil for base bitterness and during fermentation to boost aromatic complexity.
• Quality Assurance: Products from Grainrus Hmel undergo rigorous testing, ensuring purity and stable essential oil content in every batch.

Choosing Mandarina Bavaria provides brewers with a reliable tool for crafting signature beverages. This hop is ideal for those seeking the perfect equilibrium between classic bitterness and the modern trend toward vibrant, aromatic profiles. It serves as a departure from the monotony of basic varieties, allowing for the creation of complex and memorable craft beers.
