Three trade names owned by various private corporations for the same variety of hop.Because of its powerful bittering potential, CTZ has become a much sought-after hop by craft bre wers experimenting with distinctly American beer tastes, particularly American pale ale, “double IPA,” imperial stout, or barley wine. In these brews, this hop is often paired with other typically American hops, including Cascade and Chinook. An American West Coast favourite, CTZ is useful for making “extreme” beers with very high international bittering units because it can deliver a big punch of bitterness without loading up the kettle and/or whirlpool with too much plant material.
