I think it is just used as an ornamental hop. I haven't found any info on anyone using it to brew. I bought some for my mom because she has a trellis fence thing she wants covered in hops and I didn't want her using my brewing hops.

Sunbeam can be used to brew and is similar to Saazer. Also, it is the only named hop that needs partial shade. The yellow leaves are nice, but they tend to burn in full sun.

ALPHA ACIDS: 4 to 5%
BETA ACIDS: 2.5%
COHUMULONE: 36%
STORAGE STABILITY: fair, similar to its female parent Saazer
OIL: 0.8 to 1.3 ml/100 g. Humulene 14%; caryophyllene 4%; farnesene 6%
Myrcene 56%; H/C ratio = 3.12. The oil is moderately high in humulene and farnesene.
