Anatomy of the label

Cryptic Clue: the hops it names

The label lists 2 hops. Here is what each one's grower publishes about its oil. The label doesn't say how much of each went in, so neither do we.

  • guava · apricot · pine resin
    Myrcene
    Humulene
    Caryophyllene
    Farnesene
  • blackberry · plum · lime

The hop matrix

What's in the hop, by the people who grow it

Pick a hop, or two to compare. The shape is its essential oil, as a share of the total, from the grower's own spec sheet. It describes the hop, not any one beer: what a beer tastes like depends on how much, when, and the yeast, and no filing says that.
