Mandarina Bavaria Hops are a popular German variety known for their bright citrus flavor and smooth bitterness. Developed by the Hop Research Center Hüll, these hops are descended from Cascade, yet they deliver a distinctively citrus profile that leans more toward sweet orange and tangerine than the sharp grapefruit character of Cascade. Mandarina Bavaria works well in both lagers and ales, especially when used in late hop additions or dry hopping.
Mandarina Bavaria has moderate alpha acids, allowing it to function as a dual-purpose hop. Although Mandarina Bavaria is known for clean bitterness, its real magic lies in its vivid aroma and flavor of mandarin orange, lime zest, and subtle herbal tones. Its great in American Pale Ales, IPAs, Wheat Beers, and even fruit-accented Kölsch and Blonde Ales.
