Extended Information

IDAHO GEM™ is the first-named variety from Gooding Farms in Wilder, Idaho. It is a found variety with unknown genetics, but Idaho Gem has already proven itself as a standout hop that is just bursting with bright red cherries. Idaho Gem is not just one-dimensionally fruity either as it is backed by some dank and floral elements that help it shine even outside of the hazy IPAs and fruit-forward styles where it is an obvious superstar. Idaho Gem is capable of holding its own as a single hop, but also works well in combination with Citra ®, Mosaic ®, Sabro™, and BRU-1™.

Origin: Idaho, USA. A variety from Gooding Farms
Usage: High levels of sweet, fruit-forward aromatic oils make Idaho Gem® ideal for late kettle additions or dry hopping in a wide variety of styles.
Aroma & Flavor Characteristics: Bright and forward impressions of fruit candy (think Juicy Fruit or Jolly Rancher) supported by citric grapefruit.

Features

Millennium is the product of a cross breeding of Nugget and Columbus hops in
1989. It originates from the Pacific Northwest. Millennium hops were bred for
higher tolerance to mildew, higher cone production per acre, and higher storage
capabilities than other American bittering hop varieties at the time.
Millennium hops are very similar to Nugget hops in aroma and flavor. Some
descriptors included floral, resiny, and a bit spicy/herbal.
Often used for bittering of American Ales and IPAs.
