Bramling Cross is a British hop variety known for its unique blend of classic earthy tones and fruity flavors. Here’s a detailed profile:
-
Origin: England, developed in 1927 from a cross between Bramling (a traditional English hop) and a wild Canadian hop.
-
Aroma and Flavor: Bramling Cross offers a mix of traditional earthy, spicy, and herbal English hop notes with an exciting fruity twist. It typically provides:
- Blackcurrant
- Blackberry
- Lemon and Grapefruit
- Hints of spice (sometimes described as "allspice" or "clove")
- Earthy undertones
-
Alpha Acids: Typically between 5-7%, which gives it moderate bittering potential, suitable for both aroma and flavor.
-
Beer Styles: Works well in a range of styles, especially those that benefit from a fruit-forward yet earthy hop character, including:
- Pale Ales
- Bitters
- Porters
- Stouts
- Belgian Ales
- Traditional English Ales
-
Usage: Bramling Cross is versatile, used for both bittering and aroma in beer, but is especially valued as a late addition for its complex aroma profile.
This hop is excellent for brewers looking for a mix of traditional and modern flavors with a distinct fruity edge.
