Prima Donna Hop Plant

Prima Donna, bred at Wye College in 1995 and introduced as First Gold, is a hybrid of WGV and a dwarf male. It shares Goldings' flavor profile but has a higher alpha acid content (7–9%). The hop produces medium-sized cones with a rich citrus character, offering flavors of orange peel and dried apricot, balanced bitterness, and a fruity, slightly spicy note. Known for its excellent aroma, Prima Donna is ideal for stronger summer beers, IPAs, and versatile in kettle, late, and dry hopping across various beer styles.
