PAHTO™ is a super alpha hop cultivar with a very mild and pleasant aroma, high yield with a very high alpha content, good storage, and good resistance to hop powdery and downy mildew.

These valuable characteristics come to the mother by way of her father who is a fine “English gentleman” from the breeding program at Wye College in Kent, England.
