Ahtanum

An aroma/flavoring hop variety that is similar to Cascade or Amarillo.  It has a citrus and floral character with the addition of some piney or earth notes.  Low alpha acids make Ahtanum a good choice for a flavor addition when you do not want to impart quite the bitterness.  Beer styles suited for Ahtanum include American APA, American IPA and light Lagers. A substitute for Cascade or Amarillo.

A bittering hop that is noted to have a sharp bittering quality and imparts a fruity yet spicy aroma.  Brewer's Gold can be used in a wide range of styles from English Ales to German Lagers and adds a decidedly "European" element to the beer.  These make a good partner to noble varieties such as Tettnang and Hallertauer.
