Cluster

Origin: USA. Cluster is the oldest hop variety grown in the US, and until relatively recently it accounted for the majority of the acreage as well. The prevailing theory of its origin is the pollination of hop varieties cultivated by English and Dutch settlers by indigenous wild hops. 

Usage:Dual. With balanced bittering and pungent but not unpleasant aromatics, Cluster adds to the authenticity of historical recipes as well as throwback American lager styles.

Aroma & Flavor Characteristics: Somewhat strong and largely underrated. Spicy and floral with earthy blackcurrant, blackberry undertone.
