Petit Blanc is an almost unknown hop, a long lost variety found in the backyard of a former hop grower in the Champagne Region of France. When we came across this hop, it had many of the characteristics we look for in aroma hops and we thought, we should give this a try in something light, fresh and juicy. “Intensive fruity flavor: Papaya/Melon, Cherry, Lilac, Pina Colada, Lemon Blossom, Green Tea, Beeswax” are some of the descriptions that came along with this hop.
We took a nice 5 percent, heavily wheated lPA base, and hopped it on the hot side with Amarillo and Petit Blanc. It was then dry hopped twice with Petit Blanc.
The nose fits those descriptions, big time. Lots of lilac, creamy pineapple “pina colada”, lemon balm, beeswax and a little orange creamsicle. The palate is soft and fruity and refreshingly light and super drinkable, there’s even a hint of almost wintergreen in there.
