Aroma & Flavor Notes:
  • Spicy: Distinct noble spice with a hint of black pepper
  • Floral: Bright, slightly sweet wildflower and elderflower
  • Herbal: Fresh-cut grass, mint, and a tea-like note
  • Earthy: Soft, clean loam and woody base
  • Citrus: Subtle zest (orange/lime), more delicate than strong
Brewing Characteristics:
  • Canadian Mt. Rainier expresses refined, complex noble character―a little bit spicy, a little bit floral, with layered undertones from multiple heritage varieties
  • Provides a smooth, pleasant bitterness and gentle aromatic profile, excellent for lagers and balanced ales
  • Good for single-hop or blending; holds its own in both traditional and modern styles

  • Cream Ale and Blonde Ale
  • Wheat Beer, Saison, Table Beer
  • ESB, Bitter, and English-style Pale Ale

  • Liberty or Crystal (floral/herbal US replacements)
  • Fuggle (for earthier, more rustic profile)

Fun Fact:
Mt. Rainier hops are prized for their flexible, refined “noble” aroma and smooth, layered character—Canadian-grown Mt. Rainier tends to finish a bit brighter and more aromatic, making it appealing for lagers, cream ales, and gentle-hopped ales.
