Zagraya hops — this is a Ukrainian bitter-aromatic hop variety with an alpha acid content of 6.5%, ideally suited for producing high-quality beer. It has a balanced, light aroma with herbal and fruity notes, along with a subtle, pleasant bitterness. Due to these characteristics, this variety is widely used in both light and dark lagers and ales.
Zagraya is considered a dual-purpose hop, meaning it can be used both for bitterness and to enhance beer aroma. This variety stands out for its high essential oil content, particularly farnesene, which enhances its aromatic qualities and places it on par with well-known German varieties such as Tradition and Spalter Select. Granulated Zagraya hops are convenient for storage and retain their valuable properties for up to three years if packaged in airtight vacuum packaging.
The 2024 harvest guarantees freshness and product quality. Zagraya hops are among the most popular Ukrainian varieties due to their unique combination of bitterness and aroma, making them a universal choice for brewers aiming to create balanced and aromatic beverages.
