Barbe Rouge Hops for Strawberry, Raspberry, and Currant Barbe Rouge hops are French-grown T-90 pellets with a red-fruit profile built around strawberry, raspberry, currant, black currant, citrus, bubblegum, orange, lime, and herbal notes. They are a good fit when you want softer berry character without moving into heavy resin or dank hop intensity. Use Barbe Rouge in late-boil, whirlpool, or dry-hop additions for fruitier expression, or earlier in the boil when you want bitterness with a little more character than a neutral bittering addition. The variety fits pale ale, IPA, saison, wheat beer, blonde ale, and fruit-accented beer. Flavor and Brewing Use Primary notes: strawberry, raspberry, currant, black currant, citrus, and bubblegum. Supporting notes: orange, lime, and herbal tones. Best fit: pale ale, IPA, saison, wheat beer, blonde ale, and fruit-forward beer. How to use it: use late in the kettle, whirlpool, or dry hop for the clearest berry and citrus expression.
