Vic Secret T90 Hop Pellets (Australia)

Vic Secret T90 Hop Pellets / Australia / 2024 / AA: 18%

An irresistibly aromatic hop that imparts clean pineapple, pine and herb flavours. Vic Secret’s™ full potential is realised through late addition, where the impact of her high alpha acid levels are balanced, and the aromatic oil profile can be captured.

The flavour of Vic Secret™ is best accessed by dry hopping or whirlpool addition. Late kettle addition imparts pleasant earthy flavours without the fruit. It has high alpha acid levels, and brewers may find it easier to craft the right balance in their beer by dry hopping.

Vic Secret™ is relatively new to the game, only introduced in 2013. She hails from the same Australian and U.K. roots as her sister Topaz™. Anticipate flavours and aromatics of clean pineapple and passionfruit, with a slight, resinous whiff lingering in the background. Vic Secret's approachability and high alpha acid content make her an excellent addition to any hop-forward beer style. Her characteristics are best highlighted in whirlpool or dry-hop additions. Vic Secret™ possesses similar yet lighter characteristics than her peer Galaxy™, but she's no less of a breakout star in her own right.
