Description

What is Lemondrop?
Lemondrop is a modern hop variety developed to showcase exceptional citrus-forward notes, with a special emphasis on bright lemony flavours. Its unique profile delivers a clean and refreshing taste that stands out, making it a favourite for creating light, crisp beers with a distinctive twist. The addition of soft herbal undertones and hints of green tea creates a well-rounded profile that elevates the drinking experience.

How to Use Lemondrop
Lemondrop's versatility allows it to excel across various brewing applications. As a late addition or a dry hop, its flavours are more pronounced, releasing vibrant citrus and nuanced herbal tones. For brewers seeking moderate bitterness, Lemondrop also works well in the boil stage.

  • Bitter Hop: While Lemondrop can provide moderate bitterness, its best use lies in creating flavourful, balanced profiles without overpowering the palate.
  • Aroma Hop: The standout feature of Lemondrop is its aroma—citrusy and herbal with a clean finish. It brings an enticing bouquet of lemon zest and hints of floral green tea.
  • Dry Hop: When used as a dry hop, Lemondrop contributes intense lemony freshness and a crisp, bright aroma that enhances lighter beer styles.

Flavour Profile
Lemondrop delivers a zesty burst of lemon accompanied by subtle herbal and green tea undertones. It has a light, fresh quality that makes it a perfect choice for summer beers or any brew seeking a refreshing lift.

Combining with Other Hops
Pair Lemondrop with hops like Citra or Cascade for a citrus explosion or balance it with mild, earthy hops such as Saaz or Hallertau for a nuanced and complex beer.

Benefits of Lemondrop
Lemondrop is celebrated for its ability to enhance beers with crisp, citrus-forward notes without overwhelming other flavours. Its herbal undertones make it versatile, offering brewers opportunities for creativity across styles.

Substitution

  • Substituting Lemondrop: Lemondrop can be replaced with hops like Citra, Cascade, or Amarillo for similar citrus characteristics, though its unique lemon-forward profile makes it distinct.
  • Lemondrop as a Substitute: Lemondrop can substitute other citrus-heavy hops when a cleaner, more herbal lemon quality is desired, adding brightness and balance to your beer.

History
Lemondrop is a relatively new hop variety, developed to meet the demand for hops that deliver bright citrus flavours with complexity. Its creation represents a modern approach to hop breeding, focusing on combining intense aromatics with versatility in brewing.
