Wow, what a hop, the hop fart that erupts on opening a bag is sensational.

Not that far from North Dakota in a little town named Morden in Manitoba, Canada an native North American hop was found and in 1916 some cuttings were sent to Wye College in England where it open pollinated and from there came the mother and father of high alpha hops..Brewers Gold.

In 1934 again at Wye, it was crossed with Canterbury Golding, an (arguably) identical hop to what we now call EKG to create Northern Brewer which is now mainly grown in Germany though some is grown in the US.

In 1956 the godfather of US hops was created..Cascade (from Fuggles), though it took, as hops do to 1972 before released

The now rather pedestrian Cascade and Northern Brewer are the parents of Cashmere.

Cashmere is a dual-purpose stunner evoking coconut, melon, tangerine, and other tropical and spicy notes alongside smooth bitterness
