About this Hop

Southern Passion hops offer a vibrant and exotic blend of tropical fruit, berry, and citrus flavors. Originating from South Africa, this unique hop variety has gained popularity for its powerful fruit-forward profile, making it a favorite in a wide range of modern beer styles, particularly IPAs and pale ales.

Why Choose Southern Passion Hops?

Tropical Fruit Explosion

Southern Passion is renowned for its intense tropical fruit character, dominated by passion fruit, guava, and melon aromas. It’s the perfect hop for brewers looking to create fruit-forward beers that are bright, juicy, and refreshing.

Versatile in Modern Beer Styles

Whether you’re brewing a hazy IPA, pale ale, or a lighter blonde ale, Southern Passion delivers a punch of flavor that pairs beautifully with other fruity or citrusy hops. It shines in both aroma and flavor additions, making it a versatile choice for your brewing arsenal.

Perfect for Fruity, Sessionable Beers

Thanks to its moderate alpha acid content, Southern Passion adds a smooth bitterness, making it ideal for sessionable beers with a refreshing finish. Its high oil content also makes it excellent for dry hopping, bringing out the fullest expression of its fruity characteristics.

Brewing Tips

  • Dry Hopping: To fully capture Southern Passion’s bold tropical and berry notes, use it as a dry hop addition late in the brewing process.
  • Flavor Addition: Best added during the whirlpool stage to maximize its fruity, juicy flavors.
  • Pairing: Combine with citrus-forward hops like Citra® or Mosaic® to create a complex, tropical hop blend.
