Vital

About

Vital is a new hop variety out of the Zatec breeding program in Czechia. Both high alpha and beta acid content gives it a spicy hop aroma. To date, Vital has been used successfully in single-hopped pale ales though it was originally bred for pharmaceutical and biomedical purposes with its increased levels of xanthohumol - a potent antioxidant.

Origin

Developed by the Zatec breeding program in the Czech Republic, it initially had pharmaceutical purposes in mind to be used as an antioxidant.
