EXTRAORDINARY TROPICAL FLAVORS

Tropics™

Tropics strains are engineered to pack a tropical punch reminiscent of the finest southern–hemisphere hops but without the astringent burn that reduces drinkability. Huge notes of guava and passionfruit and a hint of grapefruit will make any beer a top–seller.
