Lotus Hops - U.S. Grown T-90 Pellets
Lotus Hops for Orange Creamsicle, Tangerine, and Bold Modern Fruit Aroma
Lotus is a U.S. grown hop offered here in T-90 pellets for brewers who want a high-impact aroma variety with a distinctive fruit-and-candy profile. It is especially known for orange creamsicle, tangerine, berry, and light vanilla character, giving it a personality that can stand out immediately in hop-forward beer. Lot-specific flavor and aroma notes may include Lemon, Lime, Melon, Hay, Fruity.
That combination makes Lotus especially attractive in beers where brewers want juicy citrus intensity with a sweeter, more playful edge. It can push a hop bill toward bright dessert-like fruit character while still bringing enough structure to stay useful in brewing.
Flavor and Brewing Character
Lotus is most often associated with orange creamsicle and tangerine, backed by berry and soft vanilla notes. With its higher alpha content and bold aroma, it works well as a dual-purpose hop, but it is especially effective in whirlpool additions and dry hopping where its full fruit profile can stay saturated in the finished beer.
It is especially well suited to hazy IPA, fruited sour, milkshake IPA, and experimental ale, where brewers want a more unconventional and expressive fruit profile.
Why Brewers Choose Lotus
Brewers choose Lotus when they want an American hop with bold personality, strong aroma intensity, and a profile that feels different from standard citrus, pine, or tropical combinations. It is a useful choice for recipes that need memorable fruit character and modern flair.
