Styrian Cardinal is a versatile all-rounder hop from the Slovenian portfolio, featuring one of the latest harvest windows, stable yields, and excellent climate adaptability. Known for its gentle, pleasant, and floral profile, it shines in traditional and modern beer styles alike.
Its gentle, pleasant, and floral profile can be used on its own or paired with other Slovenian hops. It is especially effective late in the boil or during whirlpool additions when you want to showcase earthy, resinous, and herbal notes in Helles styles. It is also known to produce magnificent Belgian ales (such as Saisons) when used for dry hopping, and it blends exceptionally well with the lemongrass profile of Styrian Bobek.
