Yakima Chief Ahtanum T90 Hop Pellets

Ahtanum® hop pellets are a classic American aroma hop with a refined, well-balanced character that has stood the test of time. Grown and developed by Yakima Chief Hops in Washington’s renowned Yakima Valley, Ahtanum® is a go-to variety for brewers who want expressive citrus and floral aroma without the aggressive intensity of modern super-hops.

What defines Ahtanum® is its elegant combination of grapefruit and lemon citrus, layered with distinctive floral notes and a grounding earthy, resinous backbone. It’s a hop that adds complexity rather than dominance — making it an excellent choice both as a standalone variety and as a supporting player in multi-hop recipes. Ahtanum® performs well in late boil, whirlpool, and dry hop additions, where its delicate aromatic oils are best preserved.

With its moderate alpha acid content, Ahtanum® also contributes a mild, pleasant bitterness that integrates smoothly into the finished beer.
