Experimental CLS-X14 Hop Profile

Experimental hop variety X14 comes to us from our friends at CLS Farms in Moxee, WA. X14 is still in its early trial period but has already shown great promise in a wide range of styles. It offers some good stone fruit and citrus flavor for fruit forward IPAs, while the floral and lemongrass character shine in lighter styles like lagers and pilsners.

Brewers who had early access to X14 describe it as a delicate and versatile hop that performs well in fruit-forward IPAs as well as more traditional lagers and pilsners.
