Brewer notes
Apollo is a US hop variety. Expect grapefruit, grape, and fruity character from late additions or dry hopping. Best known as a bittering hop, though late-use character can still depend on the crop and supplier; it is commonly associated with IPAs. The catalogue alpha-acid default is 17%; always use the value printed on the current packet or lot for bitterness calculations.
