It was originally bred as a high-alpha bittering hop but gained attention for its very bold and distinctive aroma - often described as bright lemon, grapefruit, and grassy with a strong herbal and spicy edge. While it never became as widely used as some other American hops, it developed a small following among brewers who appreciate its aggressive, old-school character. It has a somewhat wild, pungent quality that stands out compared to cleaner modern varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlpha Acids:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 – 12%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 – 2.5 mL\/100g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pellet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Substitutions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chinook or Simcoe (in some recipes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hopsteiner.us\/variety-data-sheets\/Comet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMore tech specs here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eComet can be used for both bittering and aroma. It performs well in late boil and whirlpool additions, where it delivers its signature lemony, herbal, and spicy notes. Because it’s quite bold and pungent, it can easily overpower a beer if used too heavily. Most people find 1.5–3 oz total in 5 gallons works well when used as a supporting hop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBrew day tip: It pairs especially well with hops like Citra, Mosaic, or Simcoe when you want to add a sharp, herbal citrus twist. It can also work on its own in bolder West Coast or hybrid IPAs if you’re looking for something with more edge.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42581110456405,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/0089\/1733\/files\/comet-hops-dive-bar.jpg?v=1781020714","url":"https:\/\/doubledank.beer\/products\/comet-hops","provider":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
