Comet was selected in 1961 for its high alpha acid content and excellent bittering qualities. Released in 1974 by the USDA, it was grown commercially up until the early 1980's to fill the need for high alpha hops but was replaced by the newer super-alpha varieties and commercial production more or less disappeared. It's "wild American" aroma characteristic comes from Comet's parentage cross of English Sunshine and a native American hop. That and its solid grapefruit and citrus aroma has created a new interest in this cultivar as a dual purpose hop for craft brewers, some calling it "Citra's little sister". Used to Brew: American-style lagers or as a dry hop in ales and IPA's. Resistant to verticillium wilt but can be susceptible to downy mildew. alpha 8 - 10.5%

Cluster has the reputation of being the oldest cultivated hop in the United States having traveled here with the early settlers from Europe and now having a renewed interest by craft brewers and microbreweries. In the early 20th century Cluster dominated the commercial production of hops with 96% of the total acreage in the US. In 1986 Oregon alone produced 28% of the total acreage of hops grown in this country. The aromas and bitterness profiles are paired in a way to make this a dual purpose hop. More often used in heavier beers like Porters and Ales it can also be used in light Ales. The aromas and flavor are described as floral, earthy and having a touch of mango. The bitterness is described as smooth and neutral. The must-have hop to recreate traditional American Style Lagers. Excellent storage stability.
