RAKAU™ HOPS

New Zealand Hops

Rakau™ hops provide great results over several brewhouse applications scoring uniformly high on the quality of bitterness as well as unique fruity flavors and aromas. Myrcene oil is the highlight and makes up 56% of the total oils, lending flavors and aromas of apricot, plum, mango, pear, and other stone fruits. Some lighter notes of lime and pine as well. Clean and efficient bittering hop but can be used in later additions to maximize the fresh fruit aroma. Grown at our "sister farm" Pikimai Hops in Tapawera.
