Southern Cross Hops
NZ Southern Cross Hops
Citrus and Spice and everything nice is how one might describe Southern Cross. A soft bitterness makes it a good early addition to the boil. It is said to have a heady lemon zest and pine needle essence which makes it a star among its kind, and there is really no substitute that can come close to its characteristics. It has a high alpha acids content (up to 14%), good cohumulone balance of 24% of the alpha acids, and nicely balanced oils.
