Ramosa™

For 30 years, Ramos has been a driving force in hop development at Segal Ranch. Widely respected throughout the brewing community, he is known as “the Hop Whisperer,” a nickname given to him by Vinnie Cilurzo of Russian River Brewing Company. 

Ramosa™ has undergone limited trial use with select brewery partners, yielding highly positive feedback. Alex Cordeiro, Beer Production Manager at Tree House Brewing Company, shared his experience working with Ramosa: “Ramosa™, formerly known as D55, is a hop variety we were eager to work with after first encountering it in whole-cone form at Segal Ranch in 2025. At the time, it immediately stood out with an aroma reminiscent of vibrant pineapple juice. Now used in pellet form, Ramosa™ retains that same juicy pineapple character, complemented by equally expressive notes of mango smoothie and background notes of freshly cut melon.”
