Apollo hop leaf is a super alpha variety that is descendant of Zeus hops, and it was first cultivated in 2000.
Its large alpha acid percentage (15-19%) makes it a favourite bittering hop for big IPAs.
It is dank with resinous aromas and flavours, but also offers some beautiful bright citrus elements. Initially, it was only used as a bittering hop but has found a recent resurgence as a dual purpose hop.
Apollo has excellent storage stability.
When it is added late into the brew boil, it is said to provide a high grapefruit and hoppy note.
