Peppery Hop?

[pilgrimhudd]

Hiya, i've had a couple of IPA's recently, one from (err i can't remember) and the other 'Brithop' by Buxton, they both had a peppery flavour which I quite enjoyed. Looking at different websites I can't really find one described as peppery, I suppose it would be described as spicy.... Can anyone recommend a peppery hop? The Buxton one was all British hops so there must be a local one out there somewhere!

Thanks!

Herkules
Brambling Cross
Green Bullet
My chart say Green Bullet is the most peppery

I would look on a hop descriptor chart Pilgrim.
The goldings are meant to give peppery spice but I would think plenty will give that flavour depending on when added as timing of additions can bring out different flavours too

I always think northern Brewer gets me a lot of pepper. Spice makes me think more of clove, cinnamon etc...

There is a Citra Olicana one from Buxton. My money would be on it being Olicana.

Brithop is hopped with Jester, Olicana, Harlequin & Mystic.

Yes I think you're right.

Ta, yes i'd seen that, but again as I said in the OP, they are described as spicy rather than peppery, which could mean the same or could not.

Not one i've used often, do you get pepper from bittering with it or a late addition?

From the website. That hop mixture isn't a million miles away from CML's Tropical England. I reckonif you used that mixture, you'd find it even a tad more spicy as it doesn't contain harlequin.

Interesting you say that, I have done the tropical england, and it doesn't have the pepper in it, which makes me think that it might be Olicana.

I have gotten it from bittering in the recent batch I used it in. I get a woody tea in later additions.

Pepper is typically from phenols, which are more of a yeast thing than hops. T-58 is the one that's usually cited as being peppery.

I know I have to keep repeating myself on this one, but not all beer flavours come from hops!!!!

 

[Jim Brewster]

Olicana is peppery to me. Simcoe sort of peppery as well

Pacific Jade.

https://beermaverick.com/hops/tag/pepper/A bit weird that they list CTZ and each option sepeartely.
Of those that I've used from the list (about 10 of them) I havent noticed any peppery flavours.

+1 to T58 yeast adding pepperiness
