Polaris
Menthol-forward super-alpha — use sparingly.
Description
Released by Hüll in 2012. The German flavor program's high-alpha entry — striking menthol and pine character. Best as a measured bittering charge or a tiny accent dose; easy to overdose on the menthol side. Adds chill character to dark lagers and stouts.
