Bred from Challenger and Northdown breeding lines, it was developed to provide an efficient bittering hop that could complement the established Target variety.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlthough primarily recognised for its bittering capabilities, Admiral has more to offer than simply adding IBUs. Its distinctive character includes orange citrus, resinous pine and herbal notes, making it a useful dual-purpose hop for brewers who want a little more flavour from their kettle additions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdmiral is particularly well suited to traditional British Bitters, Strong Ales and English IPAs, where its firm bitterness provides a good foundation for more aromatic varieties. It can also find a home in West Coast IPAs, especially when paired with hops that complement its citrus and resinous qualities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHop Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e United Kingdom\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e T90 Hop Pellets\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlpha Acid:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 13.50%\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAroma \u0026amp; Flavour:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Orange, citrus, pine, resin and herbal notes\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bittering, late-boil additions and dry hopping\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeer Styles:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Best Bitter, English IPA, Strong Ale, American IPA, West Coast IPA and Barleywine\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHop Pairings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdmiral works particularly well alongside \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/grainoversands.co.uk\/products\/east-kent-goldings?_pos=2\u0026amp;_psq=east\u0026amp;_psid=86c9f1750\u0026amp;_ss=e\" title=\"EKG T90 hop pellets\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEast Kent Goldings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in traditional British ales.
