Serebrianka Hop Rooted Rhizome

Meaning “smooth tongue” in Russian and sometimes called “Silver Hop”, this old Russian variety can be classified as a noble aroma hop. Its origins are unknown but it is thought to be related to Saaz. Serebrianka is an all-purpose hop used to develop the popular Cascade hop. What makes Serebrianka fascinating, however, is its unique earthy aroma of herbs, black tea and tobacco, rather than the citrus and pine notes commonly associated with hops today. It was tested in the US for twenty years before it was rejected as a commercial variety because of its low yields but for the craft brewer it would make a great addition to the brew with its continental aromas.

About Rooted Rhizomes:
Certified Organic Rooted Rhizomes are two-year hop plants organically grown without the use of pesticides, fungicides or herbicides. They have produced crowns full of buds ready to produce healthy bines plus vigorous root systems. The standard rhizome cutting is the typical way to start a new hops plant but it doesn't have a crown and a root system, that is created the second year. These Organically Grown Rooted Rhizomes give you a great head start towards harvesting that crop of hop cones you'll be looking forward to.
