Hops Styrian Aurora 1 oz. BSG Pellets

Aurora hops, also known as Super Styrian, is a dual-purpose hop variety that hails from Slovenia. It was first bred in the early 1970s as a cross between Northern Brewer and a wild Slovenian male hop at Hop Research Institute in Zalec Yugoslavia, now Slovenia. The Aurora hops are well-regarded for their versatility, making them a popular choice among homebrewers and professional brewers alike.

Aurora hops are known for their unique flavor profile, which combines floral and spicy characteristics with subtle notes of citrus and pine. This hop variety typically has a moderate alpha acid content ranging from 7% to 12%, making it suitable for both bittering and aroma additions in the brewing process. Commonly used in a wide range of beer styles, including pale ales, IPAs, lagers, and Belgian ales, Aurora hops contribute a well-rounded bitterness and a rich, earthy aroma. When utilized in late additions or dry hopping, the distinct floral and spicy notes of Aurora can add depth and complexity to your homebrew, creating a memorable and balanced beer.
