Delta Pellet Hops

Average Rating

(General AA range 5.5-7%) Delta is one of the newer hops released in 2009. A slightly spicy aroma that is mild and pleasant, along with hints of citrus and melon. We've heard it described as a super charged Willamette or a Fuggles (which is similar to Willamette) with an American Punch. That would make it a great alternative for finishing ales where you want something a little different than classic C hop type flavor. Would you consider bittering with Bravo? Delta, Bravo we have a winner here. One of the first beers it went into was Harpoon's single hop ESB. It is a cross between Fuggle and a Cascade derivative.
