Triskel - Pellets

Floral aroma, subtly fruity, citrusy

Developed in France in 2006, Triskel is a cultivar of the French hop, Strisselspalt and English varietal, Yeoman. With a more pronounced nose than its French parent, Triskel makes a unique first wort alternative and its notable aroma qualities make it well suited as a late addition or for dry hopping. Highly desired for Belgian-style or lighter ales, it features and elegant combination of both floral and subtle fruity notes with some citrus.

Triskel, Bouclier and Aramis are the first three officially registered varieties born of the Alsace hop sector’s varietal research program. All three varieties were created in an ongoing effort to increase the alpha percentage of Strisselspalt while maintaining its prized aroma profile.

Triskel is an aroma hop that is typically used in only late boil additions, including dry hopping.

Triskel has inherited the aromatic notes of Strisselspalt in a particularly pronounced manner. Its notes are fruity, citrusy and flowery. Its oil content makes for interesting potential in late hopping, and especially in dry hopping. At the same time, its alpha acid content also creates an interesting alternative for first wort hopping.
