Description

Lotus™ is the latest experimental hop variety developed under the Hopsteiner breeding program to now be commercially available. Lotus™ outperformed thousands of brothers and sisters born of the initial cross breeding and survived a decade long journey to become the hottest addition to Hopsteiner's unique portfolio of exciting new hop varieties.

The majority of Lotus’s™ genetic origin stems from Eastern Gold, a Japanese variety dating back to the 1930s followed by a mix of Apollo, Cascade, and a USDA male. The USDA male was bred from an open pollinated seedling of a wild American hop developed at Wye College, England. The cross from the USDA male with Neomexicanus heritage adds an additional layer of complexity and uniqueness to this variety. Lotus™ offers exceptional aromatic characteristics, boasting waves of orange and vanilla followed by notes of candied grape and tropical fruit aromas.

Light Fruity
Excellent fruitiness. Seemingly on the delicate side. I paired it Azacca and all Golden Promise IPA.

Used in a honey IPA with verdant yeast. Found the Lotus to have a wood and jasmine note. The honey came through and was enhanced by the vanilla the Verdant put out.

Unique hop!
I was very pleased with the effect the Lotus hops had our my finished NEIPA. I paired them with Citra, Mosaic and Cashmere. After the beer conditioned for about a week and a half the vanilla notes started coming through.
