Riwaka - 100gm
$13.50
Possibly the most sought after NZ hop, Riwaka has a unique and powerful tropical passionfruit character with a grapefruit citrussiness.
It is a bold hop that screams NZ Hops.
It can be and is used in a wide variety of styles, but is particularly well suited to big IPA's and Imperial Pilsners.
Riwaka is used in a number of commercial beers such as Emersons Pilsner, Emersons Bookbinder, and Tuatara Pilsner.
