The unique oil chemistry profile of this hop produces unique flavours and aromas of Red Fruit, Candy/ Lolly, Citrus, and Tropical Fruit.
Breeding
Superdelic™ (Trial Hop • NZH-102) is a triploid variety (cultivar) that was crossed by Dr. Ron Beatson in 2012 through our partnership breeding program with Plant and Food Research.
Having performed well in the small plot trials and showing sensory attributes of red fruit in early brewing trials it was fast tracked by our Grower Committee to the NZ Hops trial hop farm in 2017. It exhibited great performance in the field with a vigorous growth pattern, resistance to mite damage, and high yield.
Selection
This exceptional hop is a playful number, with red fruit, candy, citrus and tropical fruit characteristics, offering brewers something totally different to use in their craft.
Brewing
In a Hazy IPA it revealed its ripe mango, sweet berry, and citrus notes. We also noticed its unique performance, with great biotransformation properties from dry hopping during active fermentation. It is an incredible addition to our brewery. We were lucky to be one of the first to try it.” says Mike Sutherland, Director at Sawmill Brewery.
Applications
A versatile hop that can be used as a single hop addition and has great synergies in combination with other hops. Pairs well with Citra, Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Riwaka.

Taiheke® 2025 Harvest
Batch: 25-323
Alpha: 7.70%
Beta: 5.80%
New Zealand grown dual purpose US Cultivar with citrus “grapefruit/lime” characters.
Breeding:
Taiheke® Brand USDA 56013 originates from an early US breeding program circa 1956 and was the first commercially bred hop to emerge from the USDA-ARS program when released in 1972. It was bred from crossing an English Fuggle with a male selection believed to have been a crossing of Fuggle with the Russian variety Serebrianka.
Selection:
During selection this hop displays quite exceptional levels of citrus moving more to New Zealand tropical fruit characteristics. Through selection, agronomics and “Terroir” the flavour and aroma characteristics have altered markedly from the original cultivar to no longer be considered the same variety. Its bright colour and tight compact cone shape give it instant appeal during selections and the power of its resinous fruit mix on the senses makes it a real standout during selection.
Brewing:
Performs well when used as a single variety across multiple kettle additions or when singled out as a late gift or dry hopping duty. Can do some really great things for the hop advocate when matched up with some of the other New Zealand aroma heavy weights such as Motueka or Riwaka. A fun hop in the brewery which literally sighs with pleasure when plunged into a hop back.
'A personality of its own’
Applications:
Typically employed in “new world” style pale ales and creative brewers are using it for very intense summer ales where its fruit forward aroma and oils profile make for a refreshing finish.
