Innovative and Flavorful: Experimental ID-158 "Pink" Hops
Experimental ID-158, affectionately known as "Pink", is a novel hop variety developed by Jackson Farms in Wilder, Idaho—the same innovators behind Idaho 7 hops. This unique variety is distinguished by its vibrant pink field markers, inspiring its nickname. "Pink" hops offer a delightful combination of citrus and stone fruit flavors, complemented by subtle notes of honey, apple, and vanilla, making them an exceptional choice for brewers seeking to craft distinctive and aromatic beers.
