About

Styrian Gold should not be confused with Styrian Golding (aka Savinjski Golding, technically a Fuggle-type hop). Styrian Gold is a Slovenian hop, bred from a Styrian Golding and a Slovenian wild male. It has a noble aroma and a balanced hoppiness, which in part stems from a relatively even alpha to beta acid ratio. Styrian Gold also benefits from good storage stability. It was released in 2009.

Origin

Gold is a variety bred at the Slovenian Institute of Hop Research and Brewing in Žalec from Savinjski golding and Slovenian male hop germplasm. It was bred to improve the agronomics of traditional Savinjski golding to keep an excellent brewing value.
