Magnum Hops are popular among home brewers for their clean, smooth bitterness and high alpha acid content. Originally bred in Germany by crossing Galena with a German male, Magnum offers neutral to slightly floral and peppery aromatics, but its primary appeal is its efficient bittering power. Because it imparts little to no harshness or vegetal notes, Magnum is a go-to bittering hop in recipes where clean bitterness is desired for emphasizing malt or late-hop flavors.
Magnum is a versatile hop used in a wide range of styles, from hop-forward IPAs to malt-rich Barleywines, smooth Bocks, and clean-finishing Pilsners.
