US Crystal CY25 brings American-grown Crystal pellets to brewers building hop-forward and classic programs alike. It is a strong fit for American lager, Kölsch-style ale, ESB, and hybrid styles, and any recipe where its signature character should lead or support the beer.

Expect woody, floral, mildly spicy character. Crystal performs consistently across kettle and dry-hop additions, with results that track closely to the lot analysis on the COA.

This hop is available in professional brewing formats, including 11 lb foils and 44 lb boxes. Choose the 11 lb nitrogen-flushed foil for maximum freshness on aroma-critical additions, or the 44 lb box when this hop anchors a recurring dry-hop program and purchasing efficiency matters.

Hop analysis values vary by crop year and lot. For exact alpha acid, beta acid, total oil, and lot number, confirm the active lot through the COA or product documents before final recipe calculations. Store cold and sealed until use.

Brewer Notes

US Crystal Hops — The American Noble

Crystal is a triploid Hallertau descendant grown in the Northwest — woody, floral, mildly spicy, and low-alpha. It is the American answer when a recipe calls for noble restraint without imported pricing.
Best Brewing Fit
American lager, Kölsch-style ale, ESB, and hybrid styles where hops should whisper rather than shout.
Brewing Guidance
Choose the 11 lb nitrogen-flushed foil for maximum freshness on aroma-critical additions. Move to the 44 lb box when Crystal anchors a recurring dry-hop program and purchasing efficiency matters.
Pro Brew Advantage
We select Crystal lots by COA, not by brochure — the exact alpha, oil, and lot number for what's in our warehouse is posted on the product page. And because it ships from Fort Worth on the same pallet as your malt, adding Crystal to a grain order usually adds almost nothing to freight.
Aroma Notes
Woody, floral, mild spice; gentle herbal finish.
Best Beer Styles
American Lager; Kölsch-Style Ale; ESB; Cream Ale
