About

A New Zealand triploid aroma variety crossed by Dr. Ron Beatson in 2012 under the NZ Hops / Plant & Food Research programme (trial code NZH-102), fast-tracked to the trial farm in 2017 after showing red-fruit sensory attributes and strong field performance. Its unusual oil chemistry gives red fruit, candy/lolly, citrus and tropical-fruit character with ripe mango and sweet berry, and it is noted for strong biotransformation when dry-hopped during active fermentation.
