Idaho Gem™

Aroma Hop

Idaho Gem 2012G01 was developed in Idaho as a proprietary American aroma variety, with detailed parentage not published by the reviewed suppliers. Idaho Gem is a dual-purpose hop, offering useful bittering potential along with meaningful flavor and aroma impact.

Variety Details

It blends sweet fruit and citrus with berry, cherry, pineapple, mint and light herbal or candy-like notes. Its relatively high alpha acids support dual-purpose use, though late-kettle, whirlpool and dry-hop additions best display its fruit complexity. It suits pale ale, IPA, red ale and hop-forward lager, either alone or as a bright component in a blend.

Beers and Pellets were evaluated using our Sensory Plus™ Trained Panel. Beers were dry hopped in a standard 2-Row Pale Ale at 2lb/barrel for 72 hours.
