As a cross of Cascade and Hallertauer Tradition, Tango combines a tropical New World fruit profile with a classic German foundation. Particularly remarkable are an exceptionally low humulene content (<0.5 per cent), unique among German hops, and a high farnesene share of 4.5 to 5.5 per cent similar to the noble hops.
