CTZ HOPS - Best Hop for Bittering

CTZ HOP PROFILE (Columbus, Tomahawk, Zeus)

"CTZ" stands for Columbus, Tomahawk, and Zeus. These three hop varietals are nearly indistinguishable from one another despite going by different names. CTZ hops have earthy and spicy characteristics that make it an ideal bittering hop for many styles including IPAs, Stouts, and even Lagers. Its Alpha Acids clock in between 14-16%, which contributes an impressive bite. Some undertones of oranges and grapefruit can be achieved in the aroma with later hop additions, but CTZ is not typically used in SMaSH beers.

Aroma: Earthy, spicy, pungent, with some citrus overtones. Not overwhelmingly citrus like Cascade

Typical Usage: Again, another dual purpose hop.
Beer Styles: American pales and IPA. Bittering for American stouts and lagers.

CTZ Hop Pellets - Danny K. 1/03/19

"I am so happy with the hops that I get from Yakima Valley Hops! The CTZ hops were fresh, well packed, and arrived quickly. It’s so much nicer ordering larger quantities that YVH offers than buying 1 oz at a time from the local homebrew shops. They have given me the freedom I needed to play with the amount of hops in my batches, especially since I brew larger batches. And I know they will arrive quickly and fresh!"
