Idaho 7
Apricot-and-orange Idaho proprietary aroma hop.
What it tastes like
Bred by Mill 95 in Idaho, Idaho 7 brings apricot, orange, papaya, and a soft pine resin character. It plays a similar role to Mosaic — a 'complete aroma' hop that can carry a beer on its own. Increasingly common in West Coast IPAs and pales.
