This dual purpose hop is a high alpha varietal with a neutral bitterness and intense aroma. Floral and citrus notes come out in both aroma and flavor, but can be very pungent, which makes Columbus great for late additions to a boil or dry-hopping. Columbus is a perfect choice for IPAs, Pale and Imperial Ales. Also referred to as Tomahawk, Zeus, or CTZ. ,,Hop Statistics,Alpha Acids: 14.0 – 16.0%,Beta Acids: 4.0 – 5.5%,Alpha-Beta Ratio: 2.55 - 4,Cohumulone: (% of alpha acids): 30 – 35%,Total Oils in mls per 100 grams dried: 1.5 – 2.0,Storage(% alpha acids remaining after 6 months storage at 68° F) 45 - 65%,Similar Hop Varieties: Chinook, Nugget, Millennium,
