Satus® is a trademarked variety of Yakima Chief Ranches in Washington State. It is a high alpha dual-use hop considered great as a clean foundational hop when used at the beginning of a boil and when an extra punch of hops is desired. When used late, strong citrus notes come to the fore.
To date, Satus has not enjoyed any significant commercial use and as of 2016 no reference to the variety exists on the YCH HOPS website. It’s future appears uncertain.
