Abstract

A new and distinct Hop plant is described. The cultivar results out of a selection from a population of seedlings derived from the open pollination of a tetraploid seedling selection 95-28-24 (not patented). The cones are of a small size, oval shape, ripen mid-late season, and have slightly open bracts. The cultivar has been shown to have a unique chemistry profile; of particular interest is the high yield of oil per gram of alpha acid.
