  • Publication number: 20140090123
    Abstract: A new and distinct hop plant is described. The triploid cultivar results out of selection from a population of seedlings derived from the deliberate crossing the unreleased selections 00-L125-09 (not patented) and 99-58-39 (not patented). The new variety, ‘Hort3953’, is distinguished from others by its late spring growth and late cone maturity along with a high alpha:beta acids ratio. The new variety is suitable for beer flavouring.

  • Publication number: 20130019355
    Abstract: A new and distinct hops plant is described. The cultivar results out of a selection from a population of seedlings derived from the open pollination of a tetraploid seedling selection 95-28-24 (not patented). The cones are of a small size, oval shape, ripen mid-late season, and have slightly open bracts. The cultivar has been shown to have a unique chemistry profile; of particular interest is the high yield of oil per gram of alpha acid.
