Notes:
Orion is a dual-use hop that is not widely produced, and mostly relegated to Germany. Its pleasant European bittering and aroma qualities have made it popular for German Helles-type beers, which were originally brewed to compete with Czech Pilz. It has a very low cohumulone content and high myrcene. The other oils are in fair balance. This variety is not easy to find commercially.
