Mandarina Bavaria Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Mandarina Bavaria is a modern German hop variety developed at the Hop Research Center in Hüll. It was bred from Cascade lineage to provide expressive citrus aroma while maintaining balanced bitterness and smooth brewing performance.

Brewers often describe Mandarina Bavaria hops as producing bright tangerine, orange zest, and sweet citrus flavors with subtle floral and fruity undertones. This unique profile makes it especially useful in both traditional European styles and modern hop-forward beers.

Mandarina Bavaria performs best in late boil additions, whirlpool hopping, and dry hopping where its citrus-forward aroma can fully develop.

Mandarina Bavaria hops are widely used in beers where citrus aroma and balanced bitterness enhance the overall flavor profile.

Ideal for:

• IPA
• Pale Ale
• Wheat Beer
• Saison
• Kölsch

Mandarina Bavaria pairs well with other hops such as Hallertau, Citra, and Cascade when brewing citrus-forward or fruit-accented beers.

• Add early in the boil for balanced bitterness
• Use late boil additions to enhance citrus hop flavor
• Add during whirlpool or hop stand to maximize tangerine aroma
• Dry hop to intensify bright citrus and fruit character
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve hop oils and freshness

Mandarina Bavaria works especially well in wheat beers, saisons, and pale ales where bright citrus aroma complements yeast character and malt sweetness.
