Idaho 7 Hop Pellets

Idaho 7® hops, developed by Jackson Hop Farm in Wilder, Idaho, have become a favorite among craft brewers for their unique flavor profile. These hops are known for their potent tropical fruit and citrus flavors, with notes of apricot, orange, red grapefruit, and papaya, complemented by resinous pine and hints of floral and black tea. The high oil content of Idaho 7® makes it ideal for dry hopping and whirlpool additions, where its complex aroma can shine without being boiled off. Brewers often use Idaho 7® as a single hop to showcase its distinct characteristics or combine it with other varieties to create a more layered hop experience. Its versatility extends to both aroma and bittering, thanks to its alpha acid content ranging from 9.5 to 14.9%. Whether used alone or as part of a hop blend, Idaho 7® adds a burst of fruity and earthy notes that can elevate a beer's profile.
