AHTANUM

An aroma/flavoring hop variety that is similar to Cascade or Amarillo.  It has a citrus and floral character with the addition of some piney or earth notes.  Low alpha acids make Ahtanum a good choice for a flavor addition when you do not want to impart quite the bitterness.  Beer styles suited for Ahtanum include American APA, American IPA and light Lagers.
