GR Tradition

Hop Description

Released in 1993 as another worthy successor to beloved but finicky-to-grow Hallertauer Mittelfrüh (and sometimes called Hallertauer Mittelfrüh), Tradition doesn’t skimp in the aroma department, with expected spicy, grassy, earthy, and floral aromas mixing with a touch of orange.
