Enhance Your Brews with the Unique and Versatile Aromas of Pekko® Hops

Pekko® is a distinctive U.S. hop variety, named after the Finnish god of field and crops. Known for its clean bitterness and complex aroma profile, Pekko® delivers floral, citrus, and herbal notes, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of beer styles. Whether you're crafting a bright pale ale, a hop-forward IPA, or a crisp lager, Pekko® adds depth and balance to any brew.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Pekko® Hops provide a multifaceted sensory experience:

  • Floral: Soft blossom-like aromatics add a touch of sweetness.
  • Citrus: Bright hints of lemon and lime zest enhance freshness.
  • Herbal: Nuances of mint and thyme bring depth and complexity.
  • Fruity: Subtle undertones of melon, pear, and pineapple add a unique twist.

Brewing Applications

Pekko® Hops excel in both bittering and aromatic roles:

  • Bittering Additions: High alpha acid content (13.0% – 16.0%) delivers a clean, well-rounded bitterness without harshness.

  • Dry Hopping: Contributes fresh herbal and fruity aromas, ideal for hop-forward styles.
