Cashmere Hops:

The Cashmere hops is a dual-purpose hop variety originating from the United States. It was created in 2013 by the Washington State University. It is a cross between the Cascade and Northern Brewer hops.

The Cashmere hops presents a mild bitterness and complex and intensely fruity aromas, with dominant notes of lemon, lime, peach, and melon. Herbaceous secondary notes, lemongrass, coconut, and candy can appear during whirlpool additions or dry hopping.

This hop will integrate wonderfully into IPAs (especially NEIPAs), Sours, or even Fruit beers. You can also be bold and try it in a modern saison or a Brett-based beer.
