Comet (US) Hop Pellets 1 oz

Breeding/Development: USA. Comet is a cross of English hops with a wild American variety and was first released in 1974. Commercial production ceased in the 1980s as it was phased out in favor of new super-high alpha varieties. Recently however, it has enjoyed a comeback thanks to its unique profile.

Brewing Application: Intended as high-alpha bittering hop when first released, Comet has found a second life as an aroma variety in IPAs, wild ales, farmhouse beers, and other cutting-edge craft styles.

Sensory: Dominated by citrus zest and fragrant grassy character, with undertones of old-school earthy bitterness.

To preserve freshness, all BSG HandCraft hops are packaged in nitrogen-flushed, oxygen and light-barrier packages.

Because demand is higher than supply, purchase of Comet hops is limited to 160, 1 oz packages per month to each retail location. Please call us if you have any questions.
