Lemondrop Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Lemondrop is an American hop variety developed by the Hop Breeding Company and released in 2012. Bred from Cascade lineage, it has gained popularity for its clean, approachable lemon character that works well across a wide range of beer styles.

Brewers often describe Lemondrop hops as producing bright lemon zest, light citrus, subtle mint, and green tea character with a clean, smooth bitterness. This refreshing hop profile makes it an excellent choice for sessionable and easy-drinking beers where clean citrus aroma is desired.

Lemondrop performs especially well in late boil additions and dry hopping where its clean lemon aromatics can fully develop without overwhelming the finished beer.

Lemondrop hops are widely used in sessionable and citrus-forward beer styles where clean lemon aroma enhances drinkability.

Ideal for:

• Wheat Beer
• Session IPA
• Cream Ale
• Blonde Ale
• Pale Ale

Lemondrop pairs well with other citrus hops such as Cascade, Citra, and Mandarina Bavaria to create refreshing lemon and citrus hop profiles.

• Add early in the boil to contribute moderate bitterness
• Use late boil additions to enhance lemon and citrus hop flavor
• Add during whirlpool or hop stand to maximize clean lemon aroma
• Dry hop for bright lemon zest aromatics
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve freshness and hop oils

Lemondrop works especially well in wheat beers, cream ales, and session IPAs where its clean lemon character adds refreshing hop aroma.
