 AROMA HOPS
The New Zealand Hops plant-breeding programme, managed by Hort Research, has resulted in a range of hops with aromas of particular interest to the brewer. To retain the aromatic properties of these hops, addition timing is critical since the hop oils are volatile and can be dissipated by boiling.
Motueka:
This hop represents a triploid substitute for the traditional Saaz. Its unique Saaz-like flavour, with a New Zealand twist, has made this hop very sought after by both craft and larger international brewers. Motueka has created a unique citrus flavour in several beer styles. Motueka data sheet
Riwaka:
Developed at the same time as the Motueka, from similar parentage. This Saaz type distinguishes itself with delicate citrus and passionfruit aromas. Similar to Motueka, but with a subtle difference. With a small but growing production, this very sought after variety has a dedicated following making pre-ordering essential for Riwaka. Riwaka data sheet
Pacifica:
This triploid has been bred from the famous Hallertau Mittlefruh hop variety and retains a similar oil profile. Like its parent Hallertau Mittlefruh, it has a clean floral aroma with a slight cinnamon-like spiciness, imparting a smooth bouquet with mild buttery notes, as found in classic European lagers.
