Summit New Dwarf Hop
Variety Summit is a dwarf hop variety that was bred
by members of American Dwarf Hop Association. It is the first dwarf hop to
be bred for production in the United States and it's currently the only hop
being grown on low trellis in the Yakima Valley.
The hop has only been in production since 2003, so it's still too early to
identify averages for the resin and oil contents. Last year's production
had an alpha of 18.2%, beta 4.7% and total oil content of 1.3 mls/100grams.
Its cohumulone was relatively low at 27.6%.
Brewers are quite excited about the strong aroma profile that Summit adds to
their beer. It has been described as a citrus, grape-fruit flavor. It has
been used for bittering and dry hopping.
