'Comet' was developed as a bittern variety at the "United States Department of Agriculture" (USDA) and registered in 1961.
With its content of 10% alpha - acid was this variety no longer competitive and the cultivation was stopped in the 80ies.
Indeed, 'Comet' has also a flavour which is in line with the current phase of highly sophisticated beers: The smell and also the flavour of the beer is described with pineapple and elderflower.
This variety offers an agronomical feature, too: the umbels are very big and the leaves light green, nearly yellowish.

'Teamaker' can score with a special feature: the bitterness (alpha acid) is very low.

Because of the very low content of bitterness it's especially interesting for usage beside bittering. It can be used for late hopping in brewing or for example in teas or cosmetic articels or all other ideas to which bitterness is disturbing.
