Callista hops are a new variety released in 2016 by the Hop Research Center in Hüll, Germany. Her parentage includes Hallertau Tradition crossed with a Huell male. She's is also known as Grungeist.

Callista has a mild alpha range but still manages to pack a fruity punch of stonefruits, ruby red grapefruit, and raspberries. Key flavors of the Callista hop include strawberry, pear, caramel, passion fruit and orange. Callista kicks off intense fruit flavors of passion fruit, apricot, peach, and blackberry, plus some pine. Low alpha acids ensure this will be a late-addition hop.

Callista is an aroma hop that is typically used in only late boil additions, including dry hopping.

Definitely shines in delicate styles like pilsners or in late additions for pale ales and IPAs.
