Summit is a very high-alpha American bittering hop that develops interesting tangerine and citrus notes when used for aroma and flavour additions (raw it can read as onion/garlic, but this dissipates with heat). Its extreme alpha content makes it cost-effective for bittering high-gravity beers.
- Alpha acid: 16-19%
- Aroma: Tangerine, citrus, earthy (aroma improves greatly with heat)
- Best for: bittering additions in high-gravity or heavily hopped beers
- Great in: double IPAs, barleywines, West Coast IPAs and big American ales
T90 pellets are the standard for homebrew use - consistent, easy to store and measure.
