Krush Hops Pellets (formerly HBC 586) | U.S. Grown T-90

Krush Hops for Mango, Guava, and Saturated Modern Fruit Character

Krush, formerly known as HBC 586, is a U.S. grown hop offered here in T-90 pellets for brewers who want an intensely fruit-forward variety built for modern hop-forward beer. It is especially known for mango, guava, orange, peach, mixed berries, and resin, giving brewers a broad and expressive profile that works especially well in juicy contemporary styles. The live flavor and aroma profile also includes Lychee.

That range of fruit character makes Krush especially appealing in beers where the hop bill needs to feel saturated, layered, and unmistakably modern. It can hold its own as a single-hop variety or add a major fruit punch in blends.

Flavor and Brewing Character

Krush is most often associated with mango and guava, backed by orange, peach, mixed berries, and light resinous depth. It performs especially well in late additions, whirlpool use, and dry hopping where its tropical and mixed-fruit profile can stay intense in the finished beer.

It is especially well suited to IPA, pale ale, hazy IPA, and fruit-forward ale, where brewers want bold aroma and a more expansive fruit profile than simpler citrus-only varieties.

Why Brewers Choose Krush

Brewers choose Krush when they want a high-impact American hop with strong tropical appeal, broad fruit complexity, and excellent fit in modern aroma-driven styles. It is a practical choice for recipes that need saturated hop character and a current, recognizable profile.
