Sylva, meaning “of the forest", is an aroma hop with a bohemian accent. She brings typical hoppy characters to pilsner and pale lager.
While Sylva was born for a life as an Australian grown, fine aroma hop in the popular pale lager style, freedom of expression may find the brewer using Sylva in a range of alternative beer styles.
Her aroma is complex yet subtle, with floral notes and well-rounded herbal characters reminiscent of the forest floor and fresh sawn timber, that can give beer a delicate earthiness
Alpha acids (%) 5.6 – 7.3
Beta acids (%) 3.0 - 4.6
Cohumulone (% of alpha acid) 20 - 25
Total oils (ml/100g) 1.0 - 1.4
