What it'll taste like
What the 2 hops smell like, most shared first — from the hop growers' and breeders' own notes, not the brewery's. 1 from Germany, 1 from USA.
The hop bill
-
Lemon, Spice, Strawberry, Floral, Tea
Bitterness Gentle 1.7–5.5% αAroma oil 0.5–2.3 mL -
Floral, Herbal, Citrus, Berry, Grassy
Bitterness High 9.7–15% αAroma oil 1.8–2.9 mLMostly myrcene 55%, humulene 33%
In the order Stoup Brewing lists them: “A Presto” DH Export Italian Pils ABV: 5.90 IBU: 36.00 SRM: 3.00 Categories: Lager, Pilsner, Yeast Driven, Malt Driven Italians like to add a little flair to their pilsners by dry hopping for an extra layer of aroma. In our take on the style, aromas of red berries, light spice and floral notes from Saphir and Loral hops are carried beautifully on a base of crisp, light pilsner malt. Deliziosa!

New to hop talk? What these words mean
- Bitterness (alpha acid)
- How much bite a hop gives when it's boiled. Under 5% is gentle, 13%+ is a bruiser. It's why a West Coast IPA snaps and a pilsner doesn't.
- Aroma oil
- The smelly part of the hop — where the citrus, pine and tropical fruit come from. More oil, more punch when it's added late or dry-hopped.
- Myrcene, humulene…
- The main oils. Lots of myrcene reads fruity and resinous; humulene and caryophyllene read woody, herbal, spicy.
- Aroma / bittering / dual purpose
- What brewers mostly use the hop for: smell, bite, or both.
- Fresh (wet) hop
- Hops straight from the field into the beer, same day, never dried. Only at harvest, late August into October.
- Cryo, CGX, LupoMax, Incognito
- The same hop, processed: concentrated powder or extract, for more aroma with less vegetal taste.
