Release #3: ADHA Varieties
Made in collaboration with Association for the Development of Hop Agronomy, this release showcases two experimental hops and Adeena, a recent release from the program. The experimental hops used were grown at the ADHA Research Plot in Moxee. This release is our first time showcasing ADHA 218 & ADHA 1624. We’ve been using Adeena in our Adams pilsner for as long as we’ve been brewing it.

Tasters described this variation as “subtly fruity”, resinous, and having notes of grapefruit, black pepper and tangerine.
ADHA 1624
Described by the breeder as having notes of
“grapefruit, orange, papaya.”
Tasters described this variation as resinous and “slightly fruity” with notes of lemongrass.
ADEENA (ADHA 1940)
Described by the breeder as
“herbal, spicy, noble-like.”
Tasters described this variation as spicy, with strong pine flavors, and notes of cherry, cucumber, dill, and lemon.

TAKES THE CROWN
We compiled our feedback, and ADHA 1624 received the highest hedonic scores of the lineup! This series was generally described as subtle, with drinkers describing the 1624 version as resinous and “slightly fruity” with notes of lemongrass.
