About
Early Promise was originally selected at Wye College, England, most likely from an old English variety through mass selection. Though originally slated for use as an aroma hop in the US, its poor yield in its USDA Corvallis plot eventually led to its discontinuation as a commercial prospect. Like Early Prolific, Early Promise may be useful for breeding aroma hops with a continental-style aroma.
