Bravo - 100g
$9.50
Bravo is a high alpha hop that provides a pleasant smooth bitterness.
When used as a late kettle and dry hop addition it imparts a candied orange citrus character with sweet tropical fruit and light floral aromas.
Bravo is being used more and more as a late addition and works well in ESB, Pale Ales, and IPA's.
