Palisade is a newer hop variety from the Pacific Northwest bred from the Swiss Tettnanger. It has moderately strong bittering properties with high oil levels and an earthy, apricot-like aroma that's often described as "pretty". Some craft breweries are producing all-Palisade pale ales and IPA's. Alpha Acid: 6.7% WARNING: Hops can cause malignant hyperthermia in canines, usually with fatal results. Even small amounts can trigger a potentially deadly reaction, including spent hops from the brewing process. Immediate action should be taken if hops are consumed by a dog.
