Released in 2012, Polaris is part of the new wave of “flavour hops” released by the Hüll Institute.
Brewing Application: Aroma. With typically very high alpha acid levels and high oil content, Polaris makes its presence known in IPAs, Brettanomyces fermentations, and Belgian styles.
Use a base malt with enough character to stand up to it!
Sensory: Intense and lingering impressions of wintergreen, pleasant fruit notes, with a Hallertau-like sweetness and herbal note. Can exhibit a pungent, exotic spice flavor early in fermentation.
Alpha Acid Range %: 18-24
Beta Acid Range %: 5.0-6.5
Co-Humulone as % of Alpha: 22-29
