Vanguard Hops

Vanguard is a noble-style American aroma hop, bred by the USDA and released in 1997. Developed as a descendant of Hallertau Mittelfrüh, Vanguard offers a refined balance of earthy, floral, and spicy aromas. Its low cohumulone content contributes to a smooth bitterness, making it an excellent choice for traditional European-style lagers and ales.
