Notes:
Omega, despite its high alpha acids (8.0-9.0%), good storage stability, and resistance to verticulum wilt had too low yield to interest even its Wye College developers. It was produced commercially for a short period, and was said to have a pleasant European aroma. It got its name because it was the swan song of Dr. R.A. Neve before leaving his post as head of the hop section at Wye College.
