Flavour and Aroma
Complex blackcurrant, loganberry and spice notes best describe Endeavour’s aroma, with a wonderful grapefruit and lime flavour. It is gentler than Cascade. Endeavour offers that quintessential British brew flavour to styles like English Ales and Lagers. Expect an aroma of both rich currant and light grapefruit punctuated by bold, spicy notes. With an alpha acid range of about 7% to 11%, this hop varietal is more well known for its aromatic qualities much more than bittering.
Bittering Characteristics
With what’s been brewed so far, well rounded and fruity is a good description of its bittering characteristics.
Endeavour is a new wonderfully citrusy Hedgerow Hop that is creating a lot of interest and excitement. It has good storage stability.
Breeding
Bred at Wye Hops in the UK, this is still on farm trial and has not been released for commercial growing yet. It is a cross between Cascade and a Hedgerow Hop. It is wilt tolerant and appears to be tolerant to powdery and downy mildews.
