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

Why Brewers Choose Paradigm

Paradigm is a newer U.S. hop with a profile that bridges herbal structure and modern fruit character. It can show layered stone fruit and tropical notes while still carrying enough savory and spicy depth to stand out from more straightforward juice-forward varieties.

That balance makes Paradigm interesting in hazy IPA, pale ale, experimental SMaSH beers, and even modern lager applications where brewers want complexity rather than a single-note fruit expression.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

• Primary notes: Herbal, stone fruit, tropical fruit, Peach, Pears, Dank, Cotton Candy, Papaya, Mint
• Supporting notes: Spice, melon, light candy-like fruit

How to Use Paradigm

• Bittering: Paradigm can be used early for firm, clean bitterness, though many brewers will get the most value from it in flavor and aroma additions.
• Late additions: Add late in the boil or whirlpool to highlight layered fruit, herbal notes, and subtle spice.
• Dry hopping: Dry hop in hazy IPA, pale ale, and experimental hop-forward beers when you want a more complex profile than simple citrus alone.
