Does not carry the punchy aromas usually associated with higher Alpha hops. Pacific Gem contains a good balance of oils which constantly contributes to its aroma. A very pleasing hop with useful bittering potential.

It has been described as producing oaken flavours with a distinct blackberry aroma. Typically used as a first hop addition and makes its presence felt through an excellent tempered bitterness and flavour. Well suited to a wide range of beer styles and lends itself well to European Lager styles of various bitterness levels, although we have done a fantastic continuously hopped 90min IPA entirely with Pacific Gem before and loved it. One of our personal favourites!
