| One of the more popular American super-alpha hops. Nugget is a bittering-type cultivar, bred in 1970 from the USDA 65009 female plant and USDA 63015M. The lineage of Nugget is 5/8 Brewers Gold, 1/8 Early Green, 1/16 Canterbury Golding, 1/32 Bavarian and 5/32 unknown. Selected from a cross between Brewer’s Gold and a high alpha acid male with good storage properties. It is known to be milder than some of the other high alpha hops, possibly due to its unusually low cohumulone content. It is especially suitable for extremely bitter, medium to dark ales, although it serves well as a multi-purpose hop. | ||
