WASHINGTON-GROWN STERLING REACHES ITS TRUE POTENTIAL.
We believe in unearthing potential, and Roy Farms Sterling continues to be a variety that pleases newcomers year after year. Washington state grown Sterling has higher average alpha levels (almost double), allowing the use of less material to achieve the same results of Oregon-grown Sterling. Greater impact for less.
The oil content of Sterling makes this hop stand out in more ways than one. Sterling creates a spiced, citrusy aroma with a both floral and herbal punch because of its very high farnesene and very low carophyllene. Developed in Corvallis, Oregon, Sterling has intrigued brewers with its enticing musty earthiness, rustic herbal spiciness and hints of floral fruitiness. You can be confident you’re purchasing the highest-quality Sterling hops directly from Roy Farms with our unwavering commitment to sustainable farming and growing practices, as well as the 114 harvests under our belt.
