AMERICAN HOPS
Mt. Hood
"Soft American variety developed from Hallertau. Frequently used in styles that require only a subtle hop aroma (German/American lagers). Named for Mount Hood in Oregon. Substitutes: Liberty, Hallertau, Crystal." -- Wikipedia


Citra
"This newer American variety is a cross of Hallertauer Mittelfruh, U.S. Tettnanger, East Kent Golding, Bavarian, Brewers Gold, and other unknown hops. It has a heavy citrus aroma and flavor, hints of tropical fruits. Still very new, it is gaining favor as an all purpose hop." -- Wikipedia


Columbus
"A high yielding, high alpha acid American bittering hop. Also known by the trade name Tomahawk. One of the "Three Cs" along with Cascade and Centennial. Like the others it is citrusy and slightly woody. Substitutes for bittering: Nugget, Chinook. Substitutes for aroma and flavor: Cascade, Centennial." - Wikipedia


Palisade
"Fairly recent American cross of Tettnager and open pollination resulting in a moderate alpha hop." -- Wikipedia


Willamette
"Popular American development in 1976 of the English Fuggle. Named for the Willamette Valley, an important hop-growing area. It has a character similar to Fuggle, but is more fruity and has some floral notes. Used in British and American ales. A recent taste-test comparison between Ahtanum and Willamette has described some similarity between the varieties" - Wikipedia


Warrior
"New American bittering hop, popular with growers and brewers." - Wikipedia


Simcoe
"American high alpha variety released in 2000. Used for both bittering and imparting a distinct aroma/flavour as a late addition." -- Wikipedia


Centennial
"American aroma-type variety bred in 1974 and released in 1990. Similar to Cascade and Chinook. One of the "Three Cs" along with Cascade and Columbus." - Wikipedia


Nugget
"Floral, resiny aroma and flavor. Primarily a bittering hop. Substitutes: Galena, Olympic." -- Wikipedia


Cluster
"Originated from mass selection of the Cluster hop, which is an old American cultivar. It is suggested that they arose from hybridization of varieties, imported by Dutch and English settlers and indigenous male hops. Also known as Golden Cluster, used as the sole bittering hop in the iconic Queensland, Australia beer XXXX Gold and XXXX Bitter. Can give a black currant aroma/flavor. Substitutes: Brewer's Gold."- Wikipedia


Amarillo
"Amarillo is an aroma variety of hops. The Amarillo variety, designated VGXP01 c.v., was discovered and introduced by Virgil Gamache Farms Inc. in Washington State. Unlike most varieties of hops, which may be acquired and propagated by the purchase of rhizomes, Amarillo hops are privately grown only by Virgil Gamache Farms; the organization holds a trademark on the name "Amarillo." -- Wikipedia



Galena
"American bittering hop developed from Brewer's Gold by open pollination in Idaho." -- Wikipedia

Super Galena
"Super Galena is a super high alpha variety developed by the Hopsteiner breeding program and released in 2006.  It has relatively high contents of both alpha and beta acids, making it a good bittering hop with pleasant aroms.  Super Galena is comparable to Galena in its aroma and bitterness profile, but offers a substantially higher yield and complete resistance to all current hop powdery mildew strains found in the U.S." -- USAHops.org


Cascade




Bravo
"Bred in 2000 and released commercially for the first time in 2006, Bravo is a proprietary hop variety sold by S.S. Steiner.  Bravo is a diploid high-alpha hop derived from a female Zeus and a male derived in part from Nugget. It is reported by Steiner to have excellent resistance to powdery mildew." -- Homewbewtalk.com










GERMAN
Magnum
"A bittering/aroma type cultivar, bred in 1980 at Hüll, the German Hop Research Instititute, from the American variety Galena and the German male 75/5/3." -- Wikipeida



ENGLISH
Challenger
"English hop. Introduced in 1972. Very popular dual-purpose hop in English ales. Used in many traditional English Bitters. Substitutes: East Kent Goldings, Phoenix, Styrian Goldings, British Columbian Goldings." -- Wikipedia

NOBLE HOP
Tettnanger
"Noble German dual use hop used in European pale lagers and wheat beers, sometimes with Hallertau. Comes from Tettnang, a small town in southern Baden-Württemberg in Germany. The region produces significant quantities of hops, and ships them to breweries throughout the world. Substitutes: Saaz, Crystal." -- Wikipedia

JAPANESE
Sorachi Ace
"A variety that has only recently become available to home brewers in the United States, Sorachi Ace was previously grown by Sapporo for use in their beers, but has since apparently been replaced by more recent varieties in Japan." -- Homebrewtalk.com
