Flavor & Aroma Profile of Idaho 7 Hops
Idaho 7 is an aroma hop that is typically used in only late boil additions, including dry hopping.
Idaho 7 hops are known for their juicy tropical fruit and citrus flavors (think apricot, orange, red grapefruit, papaya) with big notes of resin-y pine and hints of floral and black tea.
