Welcome to Columbus, where citrus collides with pungent spice for an intense late hop contribution.
SKU: HCBS2011
Columbus is a super high alpha variety and is primarily used for bittering purposes. Originally selected by Charles Zimmerman for Hopunion, Inc., Columbus is a descendant of Nugget and often referred to as CTZ, a trio of similar hops including Tomahawk® and Zeus.
Aroma Profile: Citrus, Dank, Earthy, Woody
Brewing Application: Excellent bittering capability as originally intended, but craft brewers have also harnessed CTZ’s intense, citrus-and-spice pungeance for American-style IPAs.
