This American hop was bred for a high acid content and was originally cultivated in 2000. The high alpha acid range of about 15% to 19% makes Apollo™ hops a perfect bittering agent in any style of beer, especially IPAs.
Apollo™ is a newer super high-alpha variety with a low cohumulone level that makes it an excellent bittering hop. Used toward the end of the boil it can contribute flavors and aromas of citrus, grapefruit, orange, pine, resin, and cannabis. Recommended for use in Pale Ales, Extra Pale Ales, and IPAs. Also, note that this hop stores extremely well which makes it an ideal hop for you buy and store on hand.
