Wakatu 2025 Harvest
Batch: 25-067
Alpha: 8.2%
Beta: 8.4%
A really fine dual purpose hop with a heady mix of floral and citrus characteristics
Breeding:
Released by New Zealand's Plant & Food Research in 1988 as New Zealand Hallertau Aroma this triploid has parentage of two thirds Mittlefruh and open pollination by a New Zealand derived male. Renamed Wakatu Brand 77-05 in 2011.
Selection:
During selections this variety displays an intensity of aromas which selectors describe as fresh citrus akin to freshly zested lime peel. These excellent aroma qualities carry right through from selection to the aroma and flavour profiles in the finished beer.
Brewing:
A multi-skilled hop that consistently delivers from kettle to consumer. A true dual-purpose variety with an enviable alpha: beta ratio and oils profile. This all-round brewery performer gives excellent flavour and aroma shelf stability both in small pack and keg.
"Just a great hop"
Applications:
A versatile hop across several brewery applications and beer styles. Is a real standout out when used in multiple, high addition rates in big ales or in gentle gifts to temper the sweetness of a full malt lager.
Waimea 2025 Harvest
Batch: 25-278
Alpha: 15.90%
Beta: 6.40%
A big alpha hop that carries an even bigger weight of oils with lots of pine and citrus characters
Breeding:
Released in 2012 by The New Zealand Institute for Plant & Food Research Limited, Waimea™ Brand HORT3953 is a triploid cultivar that traces its parentage back to ‘Californian Late Cluster’, ‘Saazer’ and ‘Fuggle’.
Selection:
Fresh tangelo citrus fruit, and pine needle are at first evident during selections, while an outstanding oils profile, high alpha, low cohumlone and excellent agronomic performance make Waimea™ an exciting new world hop.
Brewing:
Well suited to dual purpose applications throughout from early kettle additions right through to dry hopping. Quality bitterness and aroma abound with fruity citrus and pine characters from this hops big weight of oil. A big hop for big beers.
'A great finisher’
Applications:

Wai-iti® 2024 Harvest
Batch: 24-235
Alpha: 2.49%
Beta: 5.95%
A fine aroma hop with fresh peaches and apricot characters within a weight of essential oils
Breeding:
Wai-iti™ Brand HORT7709 is a new hop variety developed by New Zealand Plant and Food Research with release from the New Zealand Hop breeding Programme in 2011. It was selected for its low alpha acid and high oils content. Wai-iti™ is a granddaughter of the USDA developed Liberty, and is a triploid hop derived from 1/3rd Hallertau Mittelfrüeh.
Selection:
Selectors comment on the intensity of the aromas, attributable for the most part to the high weight of oil and oils to alpha ratio. Freshly squeezed limes with top notes of mixed citrus are the standouts in a heady blend of essential oils.
Brewing:
Citrus characters apparent in selection step back a little in the finished product to make way for a blend of stone fruits such as fresh peaches and ripe apricot. Low cohumulone and high levels of farnesene create a rounded clean bitterness when used in single hopped beers. The high oil content fills in all the corners when used in late additions, the hop back or in dry hopping.
'Really tasty’
Applications:
Used in both Lagers and Ales where its character builds to develop an excellent finishing bitterness and drinkability. Fresh peaches and stone fruit dominate the aroma in singled hopped beers and also when combining as a late addition with other varieties. Creates fruity aroma driven new world beer styles.
Pacifica 2024
Batch: 24-010
Alpha: 5.07%
Beta: 6.33%
A dual purpose / bittering hop with a spicy “dried fruit” character and solid finish.
Breeding:
A triploid aroma type developed through by New Zealand’s Plant & Food Research. Pacifica™ Brand 77-01 was bred through the open pollination of the highly regarded Hallertauer Mittlefru¨h variety. Pacifica™ was released on completion of successful brewing trials in 1994.
Selection:
Pacifica™ displays classic Hallertau citrus and floral aroma character which selectors mark as a real standout. The aroma is supported by a generous oils profile making selection possible for several beer styles from this stylish hop.
Brewing:
Pacifica™ brings something of a blend of new and old-world taste descriptors to the brewers' forum. Orange marmalade aptly describes the citrus aroma notes achieved through late addition. Bittering quality is such that early kettle additions net a soft yet solid finish even in highly bittered beers.
Applications:
Finds application where a higher oil concentration and proportion of Linalool are required to impact on how the hop character integrates into the final product. Ideally suited to traditional German lager styles and finding wider application to a new generation through the international craft market’s insatiable thirst for Pale Ale.
NZ Southern Cross 2024 Harvest
Batch: 24-104
Alpha: 13.91%
Beta: 5.8%
A dual purpose / soft bittering hop with a citrus lemon zest character with hints of pine
Breeding:
NZ Southern Cross is a triploid cross between the New Zealand variety Smoothcone and a 1950's research variety bred from a crossing of an early North American type known as the Cali (short for Californian) with the ubiquitous English Fuggle. Released from New Zealand's Hort Research hop breeding programme at Riwaka in 1994.
Selection:
The aroma is characterised by a heady mix of lemon peel and pine needles layered beneath a clean spiciness during selection. NZ Southern Cross has an excellent essential oil profile and low Cohumulone while producing consistent levels of alpha acid.
Brewing:
A kettle variety of the highest order NZ Southern Cross imparts a soft bitterness with a subtle resinous quality. The essential oil component is such that it can deliver a delicate balance of citrus and spice when added at the end of boil or a much bigger punch in the hop back or direct to the fermenter.
'A hop with many talent'
Applications:
Alpha Acids and Total Oil matched with low cohumulone find this extraordinary hop several applications, single or multi-purpose to achieve subtle citrusy lager to big fruity driven ales.
Pacific Jade™ 2024 Harvest
Batch: 24-243
Alpha: 13.57%
Beta: 7.94%
A soft bittering / dual purpose hop with fresh citrus and complex spice characters
Breeding:
NZ Pacific Jade Brand HORT1524 is a triploid alpha type developed by the cross of the NZ variety "First Choice" (a relative of the Late Cluster) and an Old Line Saazer Male. Released from the New Zealand Hop Research Programme by HortReasearch Centre Riwaka in 2004.
Selection:
Selected on its average alpha of 12-14% with Cohumulone in the region of 24% and an excellent oils profile. The aroma of this hop is described as bold as it delivers a herbal infusion of fresh citrus and crushed black pepper.
Brewing:
Suited for use as a bittering hop with some excellent results also being seen in dual purpose applications, with a soft bitterness attributable to the low cohumulone. The citrus aroma and flavour notes work well to temper malt sweetness in fullish Ales especially as a finishing hop.
'Great versatility in the Brewhouse'
Applications:
Typically to replace less interesting Alpha varieties where a softer bitterness and higher oil profile is desired. NZ Pacific Jade exemplifies current market direction and what is being achieved in the New Zealand Hops breeding programme.
Kohatu 2025 Harvest
Batch: 25-246
Alpha: 7.30%
Beta: 3.90%
A dual purpose hop with fresh tropical fruit characters and excellent finish and bitterness
Breeding:
Kohatu® Brand HORT3829 is a triploid aroma type produced through the crossing of a Hallertau Mittlefruh and a New Zealand Male with North American and European parentage. Kohatu® was released from the New Zealand Plant and Food Research hop breeding programme in 2011.
Selection:
Kohatu® has been described as having an intense fresh tropical fruit character during selections and these early sensory evaluations brought this hop to the attention of researchers.
Brewing:
Initial brewing trials displayed a hop of great versatility with excellent stable flavour and aroma impacts. Fruity characters seen in sensory selections had carried through into the finished product, which was very satisfying. Importantly, the real stand out has been the consistency and quality of bitterness in dual purpose applications.
'Excellent flavour and bitterness’
Applications:
Works really well in single hop applications to show case its fruity aroma characters balanced by the extraordinary quality of bitterness. Higher addition rates can really pack a fruit driven punch in bigger beer styles.
Green Bullet 2024 Harvest
Batch: 24-239
Alpha: 14.38%
Beta: 6.94%
A dual purpose / bittering hop with a spicy dried fruit character and solid finish.
Breeding:
Released from the New Zealand DSIR (now New Zealand's Plant & Food Research) in 1972. Green Bullet is a triploid alpha variety that was bred by open cross pollination of the New Zealand "Smoothcone" variety. The era was one where alpha potential was rapidly being recognised by brewers and the New Zealand alpha varieties were certainly pushing the boundaries.
Selection:
Selection can be confusing with New Zealand bitter types due to aromatic qualities not usually associated with alpha varieties. The Green Bullet, albeit quite high in alpha, also produces high levels of floral oil that complement and balance the piny resinous hop character.
Brewing:
Green Bullet delivers a traditional bittering quality and hop flavour. A flagship within the New Zealand brewing industry and considered a bittering variety for lager it is more often found these days in big ale styles. Green Bullet also carries a solid Styrian spicy characteristic which also finds it at home in a freshly drawn pint of bitter or an Irish style dry stout.
'A brewery workhorse'
Applications:
Used extensively as a utility Brew house workhorse and found in breweries across the World . This "go to" hop is a traditional bittering type that now finds applications throughout the brewery from late additions through the hopback/ whirlpool and dry hopping.
Dr Rudi 2025 Harvest
Batch: 25-269
Alpha: 13.10%
Beta: 7.10%
A dual purpose / bittering hop with classic resinous pine and lifted citrus characters
Breeding:
Dr Rudi is a triploid variety that was bred from the New Zealand Smoothcone variety cross open pollinated at the New Zealand Horticultural Research Centre and released in 1976 as Super Alpha. Officially changed to Dr Rudi in 2012.
Selection:
Widely selected for its dual-purpose ability, Dr Rudi was once a high alpha type. Selectors note a fresh citrus peel beneath a mix of aromas such as pine needles and lemongrass when used as a late addition become evident in the aroma top notes.
Brewing:
A very versatile hop in the brew house where it can be used to deliver a quality crisp bitterness as well as excellent aroma qualities. Typical of New Zealand varieties, the oil profile sets it apart as a hop with many applications and can now be found in breweries throughout international markets where it is sought for its ability to integrate and finely balance both Ales and Lagers.
'A really super hop!'
Applications:
Works well where resinous, citrus and pine characters are required to build and develop an excellent finishing bitterness. Especially good as a dual purpose variety in single hopped beers as well as with multiple aroma varieties to create first rate new-world beer styles.
Flaked Maize consists of maize grits that have been torrefied at high temperatures, resulting in gelatinisation of the starchy endosperm, and then flaked. It is ready to add to the mash tun, requiring no cereal cooking, but without any enzymes of its own it must be mashed with malted grains for starch conversion to take place.
Flaked Maize lightens wort and can add a unique corn flake-like sweetness beers.It lowers protein and tannin levels in the wort and will therefore thin the body of the beer as well as reduce the potential for haze.
