Harlequin® is a newer hop variety to be released by the Britain-based Charles Faram Hop Development Programme. Harlequin® is an intense hop that boasts big fruit flavors such as passion fruit, peach, and pineapple. Harlequin® is the daughter of another one of Charles Faram's varieties called Godiva® and not only has an incredible aroma and big brewing potential, but was also selected for its disease resistance and good yield. The breeder considers Harlequin® to be a dual-purpose hop, but it seems to excel especially in late hop additions, whirlpooling, and dry hopping.
Aroma: Specific aroma descriptors include Passion fruit, Peach, Pineapple
