Southern Tropic Hops

Southern Tropic Hop Profile

Southern Tropic is a South African high alpha hop variety. Southern Tropic previously went by the breeding number U3/108 and is the offspring of USDA650-09 and XJA2/574. It offers big aromas across a wide spectrum, including guava, mango, and lychee with plenty of pine, resin, and lemongrass. There’s even a hint of coconut or bubblegum that offers a unique splash in any style.

Southern Tropic hops work well in any fruit-forward IPA or Hazy IPA where you are going after sweet, tropical fruit. Its resinous elements could also work their way into a West Coast IPA or classic American Pale Ale.
