Description

Pacific Gem is a bittering hop that is commonly used only to bitter the beer during brewing, and not for too much flavor and aromas. The Pacific Gem has specific aroma descriptors that include spicy black pepper and berry fruit aroma characteristics. Some brewers have noted delicate blackberry, floral, pine or oak tones as well.
