\"Oso<\/a>One of the two featured beers this month is O\u2019so Brewing Company\u2019s Project LO, a wild ale that\u2019s dry-hopped with Huell Melon hops. I couldn\u2019t remember tasting this particular hop in anything specific, and many of the releases featuring this newer hop tend to be draft-only or limited distro. Firestone Walker\u2019s Easy Jack is one of the more readily available options, and it puts the hop in tandem with various German, New Zealand and American additions. The Cloud from Stillwater Artisanal features Huell Melon hops alongside Hallertau Blanc, Mosaic and Mandarina Bavaria varieties. And Maui Brewing\u2019s latest collab with Crooked Stave, Two Tickets to Paradise, features it in a tart tropical saison with Mandarina Bavaria and Motueka.<\/p>\n

Huell Melon was released in 2012 by the Hop Research Center H\u00fcll, a historic hop research institute in the Hallertau region of Germany, and it\u2019s touted for having softer notes of melon and berry\u2014particularly ripe honeydew and strawberry. Brewers Supply Group notes that the hop goes particularly well with the yeast characteristics of hefeweizens and Belgian-style ales, while also suggesting it as a possible standalone hop for summer seasonals or Brett beers. If it\u2019s still a bit under the radar, a lot of breweries have done small batches with this hop. Look for it under the name of Huell Melon, H\u00fcll Melon or (if a little less often) Hallertau Melon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
