GREEN BULLET
11 – 15% Bittering & Aroma
Aromas of raisin and fruit
Green Bullet is a New Zealand hops variety, one of the first generation of new crosses attempted when Black Root Rot descended on New Zealand hops in 1949.
Bred from Fuggle and an unspecified native parent, it has a special zing that has become New Zealand’s stock-in-trade. It’s a dual-use hop with high alpha acids, yet it has a smooth taste and aroma of raisins and fruits, possibly due to its high myrcene content.
Specific aroma descriptors of the Green Bullet hop includes black pepper, pine, plum and dried fruit characters; high levels of floral oil that complements and balances the piney resinous hop character. It has a resinous character reminiscent of Styrian Goldings, but layered with hints of musky Southern Hemisphere fruit.
It is traditionally considered a bittering variety for lagers, but also carries spicy characteristics typical of other Slovenian hop varieties.
This hop is regarded as a “workhorse” in its native New Zealand and is widely used there.
