Pellet Hops

Vanguard Hops is an aroma variety and carries similar characteristics as Hallertau. The low alpha acids with higher beta acids, and staggering low co-humulone content make for very smooth and subtle bitter qualities. Vanguard is ripe for German-Style beers, but its application does not stop there. It is going to add to the aroma complexity for any number of ales, including Stouts and Imperial Stouts.

Delivers soft bitterness with desirable aroma; well suited for "up-front" additions in dryer lager styles.

A high alpha hop with low cohumulone levels making its bitterness less harsh than hops higher in cohumulone. Profile is very citrusy with some woodiness. Lovely as a dry hop.
