Target Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Target is a classic English hop variety valued for its strong bittering ability and balanced herbal aroma. It has long been used in traditional British brewing where firm bitterness and subtle hop complexity complement rich malt profiles.

Brewers often describe Target hops as producing herbal, sage-like, and spicy notes with hints of orange citrus and earthy undertones. This combination makes Target well suited for English-style ales where bitterness and aroma should enhance rather than overpower the beer.

Target performs especially well as a bittering hop early in the boil, though moderate late additions can add herbal complexity and subtle citrus character.

Target hops are commonly used in traditional British beer styles where balanced bitterness and herbal hop character define the beer.

Ideal for:

• English Bitter
• Mild Ale
• ESB
• Pale Ale
• Stout

Target pairs well with other traditional English hops such as Fuggle and East Kent Goldings when brewing classic British recipes.

• Add early in the boil for firm bittering

Target hops are particularly effective in English-style ales where balanced bitterness and herbal complexity complement the malt profile.
