HBC 1019 hops stand out for their tropical fruit and citrus aromas and flavours, with floral and herbal touches.
This hop is an experimental variety developed by the Hop Breeding Company, ideal for beers such as IPAs and Pale Ales, and versatile across different stages of the brewing process, from the boil to dry-hopping.
To be more precise: HBC 1019 was the experimental code used for the variety during its development and trial phase, while Dolcita is the official commercial name under which it was recently released to the market (in 2025) by the Hop Breeding Company (HBC).
