Talus Hops for Pink Grapefruit, Floral Notes, and Distinctive American Complexity

Talus, formerly known as HBC 692, is a United States grown hop offered here in standard T-90 pellet form and known for a profile that feels both modern and highly distinctive. Brewers often choose it when they want pink grapefruit and citrus character, but also the floral, herbal, and woody complexity that makes Talus stand apart from more straightforward fruit-forward American hops. Lot-specific flavor and aroma notes may include Stone Fruit.

That broader aromatic range gives Talus a lot of flexibility. It can contribute bright top notes in hop-forward beers, but it also adds a more unusual dried-floral and resinous edge that helps a recipe feel more layered and original.

Flavor and Brewing Character

Talus is known for pink grapefruit, citrus rind, dried rose, sage, tropical fruit, and pine character. It tends to feel aromatic and expressive with a slightly more refined floral edge than many aggressive modern American hop varieties.

In the brewhouse, Talus works well for late-boil additions, whirlpool use, and dry hopping, while still offering useful bittering range. It fits naturally in IPA, pale ale, session IPA, hazy IPA, and Belgian-inspired ales where brewers want a hop profile that feels both familiar and a little different.

Why Brewers Choose Talus

Brewers often choose Talus because it brings a signature mix of grapefruit, floral notes, and resinous complexity that can make a beer stand out. It is a strong option when the goal is to build expressive aroma with more character than a standard citrus-only hop bill provides.
