Achieve Clean Bitterness with Versatile Magnum Hops
Magnum Hops are a high-alpha variety known for their clean, smooth bitterness, making them a top choice for brewers looking to create well-balanced beers. Originally developed in Germany, the U.S.-grown version of Magnum offers a slightly higher alpha acid content, making it ideal for bittering without introducing strong hop flavors. This hop is widely used across IPAs, stouts, lagers, and more, allowing malt and late-addition aroma hops to take center stage.
Flavor and Aroma Profile
Magnum Hops provide a neutral yet refined bitterness with subtle aromatic undertones:
- Bitterness: Smooth, clean, and neutral without harshness.
- Aroma: Mild herbal, floral, and lightly spicy notes.
Brewing Applications
Magnum Hops are a go-to choice for bittering, offering versatility across beer styles:
- Bittering Additions: High alpha acid content allows for efficient early-boil utilization.
- Aroma Additions: Can be used in later stages for mild herbal and floral notes.
- Blending: Complements aroma hops like Cascade, Citra, or Simcoe for a balanced profile.
