Notes:
Target’s popularity is due to its being bred for mildew and verticulum wilt resistance. Some describe it’s aroma as harsh, others as having a smooth bite. Its popularity has gone up and down, but it now seems popular with craft breweries, being used in Green Man Ale’s IPA in Asheville, North Carolina, and in many English craft brews. It is high in myrcene and the other oils are moderate, but with farnesene barely registering. It is good yielding in England, but with poor storageability.
