Aurora is a Slovenian hop developed from the Northern Brewer. It is also known as Super Styrian.
The beautiful balance of its essential oils brings an intense yet pleasant aroma to the beer. With almost twice as much Alpha as Styrian Golding - another iconic Slovenian hop - it develops a soft bitterness and a velvety sweetness.
Its relatively high myrcene oil content gives it a rich Aromatic. But be careful not to overheat it! Longer boils will complete its original palette and give you pine and citrus aromas; shorter boils will frankly reinforce the citrus and fruit side, peeled orange being something that comes out quite frequently.
