Green Bullet NZ Hops – 100g

Selection can be confusing with New Zealand Bitter types due to aromatic qualities not usually associated with alpha varieties. The Green Bullet has quite high Alpha while it also produces reasonably high levels of oil that complement and balance the very traditional resinous hop character. An excellent bittering variety that is grower friendly due to its yield and late season maturity.
