Columbus hops have a pungent aroma and flavor characterized by black pepper, licorice and citrus overtones. It imparts a clean bitterness and is an excellent choice for bitter ales and American IPA’s. Columbus hops are an ideal dual-purpose hop due to it’s assertive, clean bitterness and its pleasingly intense aroma.
This variety is often identified by other names which are collectively called CTZ which stands for Columbus, Tomahawk and Zeus. The Tomahawk variety is genetically the same and the Zeus variety is so similar that they are generally regarded as the same for practical purposes. The naming confusion is a result of copyright and patent issues encountered by those who developed this hop variety.
