Brewer notes
Bullion is a British hop variety. Expect currant 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 lagers and bitters. The catalogue alpha-acid default is 8%; always use the value printed on the current packet or lot for bitterness calculations.
