Vic Secret was released by HPA in 2013, sharing the same Australian and U.K. roots as her sister hop Topaz. Expect flavors and aromatics of clean pineapple and passionfruit, backed by pine and resin. Vic Secret’s approachability and high alpha acids (15-21%) make her a nice addition to any hop-forward beer style, though her flavorful characteristics of big pineapple and refreshing pine are best unlocked in later additions. Vic Secret possesses similar, yet lighter characteristics than her peer Galaxy, but she’s no less of a breakout star in her own right. A high-impact hop showcasing Australia's growing region.
Big pineapple and refreshing pine flavours best accessed by late addition in the whirlpool and dry hopping. Alternatively, kettle addition imparts dank and herbal flavour with some fruit.
Aroma: Pineapple, passionfruit, pine, resin
