About
A newer New Zealand aroma variety from Plant & Food Research, known for intense citrus and tropical character with a distinctive fresh quality and notes of stone fruit and floral. Its high alpha acids (for an aroma hop) make it versatile enough to bitter as well as flavour and dry hop. It is grown in limited quantities with seasonal NZ availability, and is less documented than established varieties, so personal experience is valuable.
