As far as I can tell, there is no rhyme or reason behind the naming strategies.<br /><br />Some sort of try to describe the aroma / flavor of the hops (eg ... Citra and Lemon Drop). Some are based on original growing region (eg ... East Kent Goldings and Willamette). Some just seem to be random cool sounding names (eg: Apollo and Calypso). Some I'm sure have significance to the person who named them, but not to me (Chinook and Comet).
