Styrian Aurora (also known as Super Styrian) is a renowned Slovenian aroma and dual-purpose hop variety bred as a hybrid of Northern Brewer and native Slovenian wild hops. It is celebrated for its outstanding agronomic performance and its complex, noble-like aromatic profile. Aurora delivers a smooth, harmonious bitterness alongside a rich bouquet of spicy, floral, and subtle fruit characters, making it a reliable favorite for traditional and craft brewers alike.
Styrian Aurora offers a refined and noble character defined by prominent spicy and herbal qualities, softly layered with floral undertones and a hint of citrus. When used early in the boil, it provides a very clean and pleasant bitterness. Late or whirlpool additions unlock its full aromatic depth, making it exceptionally well-suited for classic European lager styles as well as modern ales.
