Use in brewing

Light bodied and rounded bittering characteristics, an excellent hop for finishing and dry hopping.

Origin/History

Released by the Horticulture Research International (HRI) at Wye College in the UK in 2004, Boadicea is a product of ‘open crossing’ of aphid resistant hedgerow varieties.
