CTZ/Columbus (US) Hop Pellets

Columbus is often referred to as CTZ (Columbus / Tomahawk / Zeus) . opunion and YCH attempted to register the same hop with different names. The 2 reached an agreement and both names were registered.

Breeding/Development: Washington, USA. The collective umbrella for the closely-related varieties Columbus, Tomahawk, and Zeus. Bred for high alpha potential, each variety shares parentage with Nugget.

Brewing Application: Excellent bittering capability as originally intended, but craft brewers have also harnessed CTZ’s intense, citrus-and-spice pungence for American-style IPAs.

Sensory: Powerful and striking, displaying oily fresh citrus and wild herbal character; dry hopping can bring out pine and spice.
