Comet Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Comet hops are a classic American hop variety originally developed in the United States and known for their distinctive grapefruit-forward aroma. Often compared to early American craft hops like Cascade, Comet offers a bold citrus profile with a slightly wild, resinous edge.

Brewers commonly describe Comet as delivering flavors of grapefruit, citrus zest, tropical fruit, and subtle grassy or herbal notes. This combination creates a bright, expressive hop profile that works well in both traditional and modern craft beer styles.

Comet performs especially well in late boil additions, whirlpool hopping, and dry hopping where its grapefruit aroma and citrus character can fully develop.

Comet hops are commonly used in hop-forward American beer styles where citrus aroma and balanced bitterness are desired.

Ideal for:

• IPA
• Pale Ale
• Farmhouse Ale
• Blonde Ale

Comet pairs well with American hop varieties such as Cascade, Centennial, Citra, and Amarillo to create bright grapefruit and citrus hop character in modern IPA recipes.

• Add early in the boil to contribute balanced bitterness
• Use late boil additions to enhance grapefruit and citrus hop flavor
• Add during whirlpool or hop stand to maximize citrus hop aroma
• Dry hop during fermentation to create bright grapefruit aromatics
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve freshness and hop oils

Comet works well alongside hops like Cascade, Centennial, and Amarillo to build complex citrus hop character in pale ales and IPAs.
