About
It's not difficult to see how the Australian hops variety, Summer, got its name after experiencing its sublime and delicate notes of apricot and melon. Others have even noted elements of grass, peach, passionfruit and citrus.
Origin
Bred in 1997 by Hop Products Australia, Summer is the result of open pollination with Saaz.
