Citrus, Black Pepper
14.7% AA
Aroma, Flavor and Characteristics: Powerful and striking, displaying oily fresh citrus and wild herbal character; dry hopping can bring out pine and spice. It features a punchy hoppiness and deep, pensive aroma with understated citrus notes—perfect as a dual use hop. Commonly used late in the boil and, when fresh, Columbus has a herbal flavor with a lemon citrus back note. Usable in a number of styles, notably American-style ales.
Brewing Application: Excellent bittering capability as originally intended, but craft brewers have also harnessed CTZ’s intense, citrus-and-spice pungency for American-style IPAs. This high-alpha hop has gained a lot of favor for its aromatic qualities. Bright, floral, spicy, and pungent, Columbus hops are great in American Ales, from IPAs and Pale Ales to Stouts and Porters.
Alpha Acid Range: 11.0 - 13.0%

Every employee, along with the owner especially, is not only knowledgeable but kind and helpful. I am a total amateur and this company made me feel welcome and excited to get back home and start brewing.
I've lived and brewed in many cities across the country, and Perfect Brewing has the best inventory and most knowledgeable and helpful people ever!
I have been ordering their kits for brewing beer since I started back in March 2020. I have never had a bad tasting kit. They have even given suggestions and been extremely helpful. I highly recommend them for any of your brewing or wine-making needs. Keep up the great work.
