Cluster Pellets 1 oz

Often utilized to recreate historical styles, Cluster is a general-purpose hop with balanced bittering aroma potential. Described as a hop with strong floral and spicy characteristics, the varietal has often been used in traditional pre-prohibition cream ales or classic American pilsners and even stouts. Beyond traditional styles, Cluster provides quality bittering and flavor properties in light and dark ales and lagers. 

Typical A.A: 5.5 – 8.5%

Possible Substitutions: Galena, Nugget

Application Tip:

Once the predominant hop grown in the United States, Cluster provides a classic bittering quality to California Common styles or in American Pale ales brewed prior to the craft brewing revolution such as certain recipe formulations to create a clone of Ballantine’s Ale.
