'Cascade' is an us-american aromatic variety, released in 1972.
The origin is 'Fuggle'.

'Cascade' resists infections of downy meldew, is partly tolerant to Verticillium and prone to aphids.
This variety is characterised by low bitterness but also fine aromatic elements.
The content of alpa-acid should be about 3-6%.

Craft breweries love varieties like 'Cascde' because they could give the beer a personal character. The light flavour of Citrus is the reason for counting 'Cascade' to the socalled "flavour-hops".

The variety 'Alberich' is characterized by its tamed growth. It is a socalled "dwarf-variety". But dwarf is not compareable to very smal plants by hop. Dwarf means the growth is much slower compared to other hops. Normally hops grows to ~8m high as a solitaire. 'Alberich' only reaches a hight of ~4m. Because of that 'Alberich' is ideal for smaller places like private gardens. Cultivation in containers also is possible.

This new variety has been named because of their fruity and very spicy aroma.
 

'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.
