ny comet

Description

Comet has an interesting parentage of English Sunshine and a native American hop, bringing out a “Wild American” flavor. Released in 1974 by the USDA, Comet was originally bred to address the needs for higher alpha hops. Originally used for American Style Lagers it was soon phased out by the surge of super alpha varieties. Today the craft brewing community has takin an inkling for it with its unique flavor profile that has gained the name of Citra’s little sister. Comets flavor profile is heavy on the Grapefruit and sometimes a rich Citrus notes like Mandarin. Comet also shows off dank and pine notes from time to time making it well suited for a broad spectrum of different beer styles.

Aromas: Grapefruit, Mandarin Orange, Piney, Dank, Black Currant, Lemon Grass Shots!
