About
A New Zealand dual-purpose hop (released by NZ Hops in 2022) with vivid tropical and citrus character. Its high alpha acids let it carry bittering, while late and dry-hop additions deliver passionfruit, mango and grapefruit. Note it shares its name with an unrelated UK Harlequin (a different cultivar from Charles Faram).
