OTHER INFORMATION: Very large cones that tend to break up and shatter during picking. Some tendency to form angel cones (small leaflets in the cone which drives up leaf and stem data. The hop is a diploid, 2n= 20. This hop is the major high-alpha hop in Germany and is rapidly becoming the most widely grown hop in that country.
