It came from a cross of English Sunshine with an American wild hop and was long regarded as a classic bittering hop. In recent years Comet has enjoyed a comeback as a dual-purpose hop with a distinctly wild American aroma of grapefruit, citrus and herbs. BarthHaas also lists Comet as a German variety (COM-DE).", "alpha_min": 9.4, "alpha_max": 12.4, "beta_min": 3.0, "beta_max": 6.1, "cohumulon_min": 40, "cohumulon_max": 45, "gesamtoel_min": 1.4, "gesamtoel_max": 3.3, "myrcen_min": 40, "myrcen_max": 65, "linalool_min": null, "linalool_max": null, "selinen_min": null, "polyphenole_min": null, "xanthohumol_min": null, "trockenresistenz": "Moderate (susceptible to downy mildew)", "anbauland": "USA, Deutschland", "schutzrecht": "USDA Public Domain, Züchtung 1961, Markteinführung 1974", "ernte": "Late ripening", "anbau_extra": [ { "label": "Parentage", "wert": "English Sunshine × American wild hop" }, { "label": "Züchtungsjahr", "wert": "1961" }, { "label": "Yield", "wert": "1,900 to 2,250 kg/ha of dried cones" } ], "aroma_tags": [ "Grapefruit", "Mandarine", "Zitronengras", "Kräuterig", "Grasig", "Johannisbeere" ], "sensorik": [ { "label": "Citrus", "typ": "zitrus", "wert": 82 }, { "label": "Herbal", "typ": "kraeuterig", "wert": 65 }, { "label": "Fruity", "typ": "fruchtig", "wert": 58 }, { "label": "Resinous", "typ": "harzig", "wert": 45 }, { "label": "Earthy", "typ": "erdig", "wert": 38 } ], "aroma_gruppen": { "Grapefruit & mandarin": "An intense wild American grapefruit profile combined with mandarin, lemon and lemongrass.", "Grassy & herbal": "Grass, herbs and lightly smoky notes give Comet its rustic, independent character.", "Berries & tropical": "Blackcurrant, apricot, pineapple and floral elderflower notes as modern secondary aromas." }, "sensorik_im_bier": "In beer Comet delivers a robust, rather direct bitterness thanks to its high cohumulone of 40 to 45 per cent.
