    From another source:

    “the hop lent great spice, floral and fruity notes”

    "The Monocacy hop has a chemical composition that is unlike many other varieties. The acid and oil contents of the hop make this variety stand out as a brewing ingredient. Evaluation of the hop’s composition indicates that the Monocacy hop has a 0.56 alpha acid to beta acid ratio. While this ratio is not problematic during the brewing process or in a finished beer, it is unusual to have a ratio that isn’t closer to 2:1 alpha acids to beta acids. The expectation is that this hop will contribute to a low-bitterness beer with a wonderful hop aroma. "
