Paradigm hops are a type of aroma hop that is cultivated in the United States. 

They are known for their herbal, stone fruit, tropical, spice, melon, candy, bright flavors. Paradigm hops are typically used in late boil additions, including dry hopping.

Paradigm hops were developed by Great Lakes Hops and are the proud beginning of an entire movement that may very well revitalize what it means to commercially grow hops for Midwest Hop growers.

Here are some brewing values for Paradigm hops:

• Alpha Acid % (AA): 8-11.7%
• Beta Acid %: 3.9-6.3%
• Alpha-Beta Ratio: 1:1 - 3:1
• Co-Humulone as % of Alpha: 34-35%
• Total Oils (mL/100g): 1.2-2.17 mL
• Myrcene (as % of total oils): 39-40%
• Humulene (as % of total oils): 4-5%
• Caryophyllene (as % of total oils): 3-4%
• Farnesene (as % of total oils): 0-1%

Paradigm hops are commonly used in beer styles such as Vienna Lager, IPA, and New England IPA. If you are looking for a substitute for Paradigm hops, you can try using a similar hop such as Citra or Mosaic.
