Vanguard Hops Pellets 1 oz

My favorite hops

I enjoy the floral, citrus, and fresh cut grass aromas of these hops while in the package. The low alpha content allows the floral aromas the shine after brewing and the earthy grass notes convert to flavor especially in blonde ales or kolsch when used as the aroma hop.

Dual Purpose

Nice aroma, good flavor and battering qualities, as its Hallertau lineage would suggest. I purchased 8 oz of Vanguard hops because of their versatility for lager brewing. I’ve used them as a bittering addition for a Czech pale lager, and a 30 minute addition for a higher alcohol pale lager. If there are shortages of certain noble hops (which was a possibility in April), varieties such as Vanguard and Perle can fill in the gaps.
