Vic Secret Hop Pellets
Vic Secret was created by the HPA breeding program in 2000 and commercialized in 2013. Its ancestry is a cross pollination of high alpha Australian and Wye College hops, which provides an interesting mix of English, European and North American heritage.
Vic Secret is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process.
Vic Secret is an Australian hop known for its bright tropical character of pineapple, pine, and passion fruit. Other aroma descriptors include tropical fruit, pine and herbs. It displays a more earthy character when added late in the boil, but is now commonly added as a whirlpool or dry hop in IPAs. Its flavors are similar to Galaxy hops, but are lighter in nature.
