Your Destination for the Perfect Brewing Supplies: Beer, Wine, Cheese and More
Tangerine, Grapefruit, Pine and Pineapple
Aroma, Flavor and Characteristics: Created by Hopunion LLC, Zythos® is a proprietary hop blend created specifically with IPA’s in mind. It features notes and aromas of tangerine, grapefruit, pine and even pineapple. Its high alpha acid content means it can be useful for bittering but is largely intended to shine as an aroma hop.
Brewing Application: This is a perfect hop for West Coast style hoppy Pale Ales and IPA's. With that said we have seen, sniffed and tasted all kinds of traditional styles made with aggressive IPA hops. The hop was blended to get a little of everything in one pellet. We went for citrus, tropical, pine, and spicy as the main flavors in that order. It also has some experimental varieties to make it more complex. When used for its aromatic qualities, expect lots of fruity citrus and tropical notes like pineapple, with hints of pine and spice thrown in. This makes Zythos a perfect choice for IPAs and Pales, but really any hop-forward brew. Zythos pellet hops can be hard to find, and you would really have to use a combination of hops like Citra® and Amarillo® hops or Simcoe® to get a similar effect.

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.
