Plant Columbus (often associated with the CTZ family: Columbus/Tomahawk/Zeus) if you want a hop with big, bold intensity. It’s well known for pungent, dank/resinous character with earthy, spicy, and citrus notes—perfect for hop-forward beers where you want that classic “dank” edge.
Columbus is widely used for both bittering and aroma, so it’s a great all-around variety to grow at home once established—especially if you love West Coast IPA character.
