Vic Secret Hops
Australian Vic Secret Hop Profile
Vic Secret™ was released by HPA in 2013 with the same Australian and U.K. roots of her sister Topaz™. Expect flavors and aromatics of clean pineapple and passionfruit, backed by pine and resin. Vic Secret’s approachability and high alpha acids (15-21%) make her a nice addition to any hop-forward beer style, though her flavorful characteristics of big pineapple and refreshing pine can be unlocked in later 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. A high-impact hop showcasing Australia’s growing region.
Vic Secret Description from the Grower
“Big pineapple and refreshing pine flavours best accessed by late addition in the whirlpool and dry hopping. Alternatively, kettle addition imparts dank and herbal flavour with some fruit.”
