“Liquid mango smoothie! Love this hop.”
Peter Oates, Brewmaster & Co-Founder Equilibrium Brewery Middletown, NY“The first time we tried a beer with Krush HBC 586 was at the HAAS exhibit during hop selection in Yakima. Since then, and brewing with it here at home, we’ve been hooked. Mango, mango, and even more mango for days has made this a great addition to our hoppy o erings. We’ve used HBC 586 in both rotational and in collaboration beers due to its bright avor and creaminess. Who doesn’t like liquid mango smoothie goodness?”
Michelle DeLuca, Brand Director, Equilibrium Brewery, Middletown, NY“The thing I always tell brewers is that Krush is like the best fruit salad they’ve ever had,Krush presents these ripe tropical fruits like mango and guava, as well as rich stone fruits like peach. Its bouquet is supported by aromas of fresh-sliced navel oranges and mixed berries, which produces excellent outcomes across all styles and in combination with almost any other hop variety.”
Jeff Dailey, Sensory Manager at HAAS“It’s a bold hop that can stand on its own, but also plays well with others. It’s great in the whirlpool, but really shines in dry hop.”
Brad Benson, Head Brewer/Co-owner of Stoup Brewing“It stands out not only by its rich and sweet tropical fruit and citrus qualities, but its ability to play well with other hops, acting as a unifying force as well as amplifying the voice of others.”
