It was released commercially in 2012.
The variety has large cones, but there is risk of cone tip blight if picked late.
It can be leafy, so needs early laterals to maximise cropping volume.
Minstrel® is Wilt resistant like Target, but the rootstock is weaker and less tolerant.
It is tolerant to Downy Mildew. It is Powdery Mildew susceptible, but tolerant like Sovereign.
