Profile
As a daughter of the Glacier hop variety, Tahoma inherits the low cohumulone characteristic of its parent, which is a sought-after trait in the brewing community. This low cohumulone content, combined with a slightly elevated alpha acid level, makes Tahoma hops an excellent choice for brewers aiming to achieve a smooth bitterness in their brews without needing an excessive amount of hop material. The flavor profile of Tahoma is often likened to the popular Cascade hop, boasting a delightful blend of citrus, spicy, and woody aromas. This makes it an excellent choice for those looking to add a fresh, zesty twist to their beers. Furthermore, its lineage, tracing back to the Glacier hop, ensures that it brings a touch of familiarity while still offering something new and exciting for the palate.
