Notes

First Brewed 02/2012

Challenger is known for its herbal and fruity characteristics. When used alone in a beer like IPA is Dead, Challenger brings light woodsy notes, floral hints, and delicate green tea, alongside more recognisable citrus notes. As a dual-purpose hop, it also yields great bittering potential, which is ideal in a dry bitter IPA.
Challenger hops come from English hops farms - try getting hold of some fresh, undried hops and make a "wet hop" beer.
