Ahtanum® Brand YCR 1 is an aroma-type cultivar that was the first commercially available offering, bred and released by Yakima Chief Ranches in 1997. It is used for its aromatic properties and moderate bittering. It has a unique aroma profile that consists of citrus, earthy, and floral characteristics. The variety is named after the location where Charles Carpenter established the first hop farm in the Yakima Valley in 1869.
