HBC 353 Hops

HBC 353 is a valuable addition to any homebrewer's arsenal, offering both bittering and aroma qualities. Originating from experimental breeding, this hop is akin to Willamette hops but boasts its own distinct character. The hop's aroma profile includes enticing notes of green tea, tarragon, elderflower, chamomile, and nettle, which contribute to a nuanced and aromatic brew. With its clean, low- to medium-hop flavor profile, HBC 353 is particularly well-suited for hot side additions in lager-like beers, making it a perfect fit for American Lager, Helles, Pilsner, Kolsch, Cream Ale, and Golden Ale styles, where it adds a noble-like quality and enhances drinkability.
