HopFrance is a hop growers cooperative in Alsace-France. The hops are grown by 38 independent family-owned farms.
The Alsatian terroir & climate conditions are particularly suited to aroma hops.
Strisselspalt, the most famous Alsatian hop, has a spicy, slightly lemony and herbal aroma. It is ideal for late & dry hopping on Lagers and Pilsners.
Aramis was developed for its non-lingering bitterness. Aramis has intense spicy, floral and slightly citrusy notes. It is particularly well for Pils, lagers, wheat beers where a subtle but distinctive aroma is desired.
Triskel is fruity and floral. It has a crème caramel, grape and plum profile. The aroma of Triskel is complex & works well for most beers when a fruity, harmonious & pleasant note is expected.
Barbe-Rouge is a unique hop. Used in dry hopping, it develops notes of red fruits, strawberries & raspberries & strawberry jam.
Beers using Mistral will have notes of rose, lychee & melon. A character very similar to Gewurtztraminer wine!
Elixir, the latest release, is much more citrussy. With aromas of exotic fruits, passion fruit, mango& tangerine, Elixir will be the good choice for IPA’s, NEIPAS’, hoppy Lagers, Pale Ales or even Triples beers.
Most of these varieties are grown under organic farming conditions.
