FLAVOUR:
MELLOW YELLOW® has a spicy aroma. It is useful any time during the brewing process but is more favorable for late additions or dry hopping when making a lager. If you are making a West Coast Pilsner or a Hazy IPA use MELLOW YELLOW® throughout the boil to achieve a soft bittering charge. Add your American hops as a dry hop.  The flavour is noble & mellow with a background of lime zest, with floral, spice and fresh Riesling grape and ripe gooseberry.

MELLOW YELLOW® retains all of the characteristics of Hallertauer Hersbrucker (middle early) and apart from a slightly higher alpha it is virtually indistinguishable from it.

HISTORY:
MELLOW YELLOW® was grown from a Hallertauer Hersbrucker seed and is named for the subtle spice, floral and soft bitterness that is part of the MELLOW YELLOW® flavour profile.

GROWTH/YIELD:
MELLOW YELLOW® is a bright green aromatic hop with an alpha acid rating at 5%-6%.
MELLOW YELLOW® is a very vigorous hardy grower with medium cones and is suitable for growing over arbours if required.
