Delta™

Released in 2009, aroma variety Delta is a relatively new kid on the block. It is a Fuggle-type hop, similar to a Willamette, but with a kick. It features a mild and pleasantly spicy aromas and notes of melon and citrus. Delta is considered ideal for ale finishing.

Hopsteiner first offered Delta to Boston’s Harpoon Brewery as a cross between an English-style Fuggle and a Cascade-derived male. Harpoon brewed it into an English-style single-hop ESB. Delta has a much more emphatic flavor than its Fuggle parent—a truly American punch.
