CLUSTER T90 Hop Pellts Origin: USA. Cluster is the oldest hop variety grown in the US, and until relatively recently it accounted for the majority of the acreage as well.

With balanced bittering and pungent yet unpleasant aromatics, Cluster adds to the authenticity of historical recipes as well as throwback American lager styles.
