Lemondrop Hops - U.S. Grown T-90 Pellets

Lemondrop Hops for Lemon Zest, Bright Citrus, and Refreshing Aroma

Lemondrop is a U.S. grown hop offered here in T-90 pellets for brewers who want a citrus-forward variety built around fresh lemon character rather than broader tropical fruit. It is especially known for lemon zest, light orange, herbal spice, and floral notes, giving it a profile that can brighten a beer without making it feel heavy or overly resinous. Lot-specific flavor and aroma notes may include Mint, Green Tea, Melon.

That makes Lemondrop especially useful in beers where freshness and drinkability matter. It can add a crisp citrus edge that works well in lighter hop-forward styles, saisons, wheat beers, and clean modern ales.

Flavor and Brewing Character

Lemondrop is most often associated with lemon zest and orange, backed by herbal spice, floral notes, and a light crisp fruit character. It performs especially well in late additions, whirlpool use, and dry hopping where its citrus aroma can stay vibrant in the finished beer.

It is especially well suited to IPA, pale ale, saison, wheat beer, and lager, where brewers want bright citrus lift and a fresher, more focused hop profile.

Why Brewers Choose Lemondrop

Brewers choose Lemondrop when they want an American hop with clear lemon-forward character, refreshing aroma, and strong utility in lighter or more drinkable hop-driven styles. It is a useful option for recipes that need brightness more than brute force.
