Southern Star hops are a South African hop variety that is brand new and available exclusively to Homebrewers from Northern Brewer! Southern Star is a clean, crisp bittering hop. An excellent choice for a neutral bittering addition for hoppy styles like IPAs or Pale Ales. Also try it in fruit beers as it can add a slight berry note to the beer. Typical Alpha Acids 12-15%. Neutral bittering hop. Slight berry notes when used alone. Southern Star is the Featured Hop in our Alpha Leonis Stout
