Flavor & Aroma Profile of Vienna Gold Hops
Vienna Gold is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process.
Vienna Gold is a hop variety that was grown widely in Australia several decades ago. However, due to the arrival of higher alpha varieties like Pride of Ringwood, it became less fashionable and was eventually discontinued. Vienna Gold is a highly vigorous growing variety that produces high yields of flowers and is easy to grow. This hop is not available commercially and is now only grown by homebrewers. It has a flavor similar to a German noble hop.

Is Vienna Gold available in lupulin powder?
Unfortunately, there is no lupulin powder version of the Vienna Gold hop. Neither Yakima Chief Hops (Cryo/LupuLN2), Haas (Lupomax) or Hopsteiner have created versions of this hop variety in lupulin powder form yet. Too bad too - it is pure hop lupulin powder, which leads to huge, concentrated flavor when used in the whirlpool or dry hop additions.
