NZ Southern Cross Hops 2026 Harvest - T90 Pellets 100gm

Southern Cross is a New Zealand dual-purpose hop with zesty lime, lemon peel, pine, and notes of tropical fruit. Its high oil content and low cohumulone deliver a smooth bitterness, while late additions and dry hopping unlock layers of fruitiness. Excellent in NZ pilsners, pale ales, IPA's and dry-hopped lagers, it shines solo or blended.

It has a high thiol precursor load and distinctive apricot-leaning ester, 2-methylbutyl isobutyrate (2MIB). This combination makes Southern Cross a powerful promoter hop—when paired with varieties like Nelson Sauvin and Motueka, it amplifies stone fruit and tropical character through biotransformation. Use it to boost complexity and lift aroma in any hop-forward beer.
