Zappa™ is a native, North American, Humulus lupulus variety, neomexicanus, recovered from the wild in New Mexico. Named after Frank Zappa, in collaboration with the Zappa family, this hop is as counterculture as the musician himself.
Spicy with strong notes of diesel, resin, and pine with intense peppery notes. Additional descriptors include savory, mint, and Fruity Pebbles™. If using in fruit forward beers keep quantities limited as it can become overpowering very fast.
Aroma of pine and citrus with notes of mint and passionfruit.
Due to a blend of resinous, tropical and intense dank flavours Zappa is an awesome hop to try in Hazy style beers and IPA's with a dank, cannabis-style profile but has been used with a lot of success in more fruit forward styles like NEIPA and Hazy IPA. Zappa™ is a hop to definitely give a try as it is one of the only hops with a one of a kind flavour.
