About

Originating in Idaho, USA, Dwarf variety Pocket Talisman has proven difficult to establish with rhizomes often failing to produce bines. Originally selected from a field of regular Talisman hops in the 1970's, the initial test plot took three years to establish due to failed rhizome growth. Once established it produces well on a low trellis but is not currently grown commercially. Little is known of its exact aroma and flavor profile but it is said to share some similarities with Cluster.
