The brightest star in the constellation Aquila, Altair uses fresh ADHA 218 to celebrate the annual hop harvest.

As the managing partner in the ADHA breeding program, Roy Farms has been unearthing the potential of experimental hops and developing them into promising new rockstars for brewers. An early maturing variety, ADHA 218 has notes of sweet fruit, lime, banana and strawberry with hints of floral and bubblegum. This hop is full of surprises, with characteristics enhanced by various brewing styles. You can be confident you’re purchasing the highest-quality ADHA 218 hops directly from Roy Farms with our unwavering commitment to sustainable farming and growing practices, as well as the 113 harvests under our belt.
