About
Though its official lineage is vague, Australian Cluster is a dual-use hop thought to be of Dutch, English and/or American ancestry. Australian Cluster, grown by HPA is strongly resinous but yields a balanced bitterness with a notable herbal character. Australian's, particularly those in Queensland, might recognize Australian-grown Cluster as the aroma variety in XXXX Bitter.
