Comet hop cone

Comet

Comet is a unique American hop that delivers a punchy blend of bright citrus and stone fruit character. Originally bred in the 1960s as a high-alpha bittering hop, Comet has found new life among craft brewers for its distinct mix of grapefruit, lemongrass, and tropical aromas. With a juicy, slightly untamed profile, it shines in hazy styles, hoppy lagers, and West Coast IPAs.

Sensory Analysis

Amarillo is a game-changer for our brews. The bright citrus punch especially the orange and grapefruit notes, bring our IPA to life. It's smooth and versatile and delivers the  bold aroma we love.
