Naming

BRU-1™ – The 1 to Bru with.

Origin Story

BRU-1™ was discovered and developed through open pollination at Brulotte Farms in Toppenish, WA.

A new variety developed by John I. Haas and Brulotte Farms in the Yakima Valley. It is big and bold with a fruit-forward character that also offers clean bittering (13 – 15% AA). BRU-1™ has a high Myrcene oil content that makes up over 50% of the total oil and contributes aromas of pineapple and stone fruit that is backed by a soft spice.

Characteristics

BRU-1 is notable for its distinct sweet fruit aroma that is often described as pineapple. When used as a whirlpool or dry hop addition, BRU-1 delivers the aroma of freshly cut pineapple and green fruits.

BRU-1 is synergistic with other hops creating a depth of fruit flavor. The breeder says BRU-1™ pairs well with Citra, Chinook, and other U.S. aroma varieties.

BRU-1 has also been shown to improve haze stability in certain beer styles.
