Topaz Hops
Australian-born multi-purpose variety Topaz features elements of clove-like spice and a light, lychee-esque fruitiness.
Created in 1985 by Hop Products Australia in the Rostrevor Breeding Garden in Victoria, Topaz was always intended to be a high-alpha hop. The result of a mix between an Australian high-alpha variety and a UK male sourced from Wye College in England, Topaz is a unique blend of Australian and European flavors and aromas.
