Nugget, a New Hop Cultivar with High α-Acids Potential. A. Haunold, S. T. Likens, G. B. Nickerson, and S. T. Kenny. J. Am. Soc. Brew. Chem. 42:0062, 1984.

Nugget was developed from a cross made in 1970. The cultivar combines high α-acids and low cohumulone content, good storage stability of the soft resins, and high yield potential. About two-thirds of the soft resin fraction of Nugget are α-acids. Myrcene and humulene predominate in the essential oil fraction.
