The Idaho 7 hop was developed by Jackson Hop Farm in Wilder, ID. It was first released in 2015.

US hops begin to be harvested in mid-to-late August for most aroma varieties. Idaho 7 is an aroma hop that is typically used in only late boil additions, including dry hopping.

Idaho 7 hops are known for their juicy tropical fruit and citrus flavors (think apricot, orange, red grapefruit, papaya) with big notes of resin-y pine and hints of floral and black tea. Use the Idaho 7 hop as a single hop or as a late addition. The high oil content make this ideal for dry hopping and whirlpool. Playfully known as “007: The Golden Hop”

We found that Mosaic, Citra, Chinook, Simcoe, Lotus, Centennial & Azacca hops are commonly used alongside the Idaho 7 hop.
