Target

Target was produced at Wye College and released for general
production in 1972. Target has good bittering qualities, with strong,
typical English flavour, thus it can be used in all types of beer. It
has been said to produce characteristics ranging from orange, to
marmalade, to peppery geranium. This hop is also recommened
for the dry hopping of stronger ales to produce a more floral
aroma. Target has been used as a single varietal in; Caledonian's
award winning Golden Promise; Usher's Lal Toofan lager; Hardy
and Hanson's prize winning Guzzling Goose Bitter which uses
Target both in the copper and as a dry hop.
