Centennial Hop Pellets (US)

Centennial Hops

Named after the Washington State centennial anniversary in 1989, Centennial arose from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) hop breeding program at Washington State University in 1974 and was released in 1990. Its genetic composition is 3/4 Brewers Gold, 3/32 Fuggle, 1/16 East Kent Golding, 1/32 Bavarian, and 1/16 unknown. Often called "Super Cascade" by brewers, Centennial delivers a more intense citrus and floral punch with higher alpha than its famous cousin — making it a go-to for both bittering and late additions.
