FLAVOUR:
We call this pretentious and pompous hop variety Bombastic because of the extraordinary amount of growth and flavour it produces. With 6cm cones and a strong aroma of passionfruit and white wine grapes, the palate gives way to a complex blend of passionfruit, blackberry, ginger, lime, melon and sauvignon blanc on the palate. Very fruity indeed.
