Description
Titan is a relatively new high alpha German hop - released in 2022 and developed by the Hop Research Center in Hüll, Germany. Bred from Polaris, Titan matches Herkules in harvest yield, offers strong resistance to powdery mildew, and can be cultivated more sustainably thanks to reduced plant protection requirements.
Aromatically, Titan is defined by classic, hop-typical notes with subtle green fruit and citrus tones that are more restrained in comparison to Herkules. Despite its significantly higher total oil content, Titan maintains a pleasantly balanced and clean aroma profile, supported by gentle sweet fruit nuances and a touch of menthol.
Titan delivers good bittering potential across a range of beer styles. Its bitterness profile mirrors that of Herkules: a steep initial rise, full intensity in the main palate, and a smooth, clean finish without harsh lingering - overall a solid, refined bitterness that's a great foundation to build on.
With its combination of sustainable agronomics, high alpha content, and balanced aroma, Titan is an excellent choice for brewers seeking a reliable bittering hop with a classic aroma character that can be layered and expanded depending on the beer style.
