Its name comes from the talus bone in the human ankle - the bone that helps with movement and balance (not talus rock). The breeders chose the name because they felt the hop had a strong, well-rounded, and foundational character, much like how the talus bone supports the body. It delivers big tropical fruit (especially pineapple and mango) with bright citrus and stone fruit notes, making it a popular choice for hazy IPAs when brewers want loud, juicy aroma.\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 11 – 14%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 – 3.5 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 Citra or Mosaic (in some recipes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimachief.com\/commercial\/hop-varieties\/talusr-brand.html\" 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\"\u003eTalus is mainly used for aroma and flavor. It performs well in late boil, whirlpool, and dry hopping, where it brings strong tropical and stone fruit character. Because it’s quite potent, it can easily dominate a beer if used too heavily. Most people find 2–4 oz total in 5 gallons works well for solid impact. Going heavier can make the fruit feel heavy or muddled, so it usually performs best when paired with other hops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBrew day tip: It pairs especially well with Citra, Mosaic, or Galaxy when you want to push big, layered tropical fruit. It can also stand on its own in bolder hazy IPAs.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42581754478677,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/0089\/1733\/files\/talus-hops-maroon-bells.jpg?v=1781034616","url":"https:\/\/doubledank.beer\/products\/talus-hops","provider":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
