Hop Rakau Organic (NZ) in pellets T90 in 5 kg bag - A new and relatively unknown hop variety that is a unique offering from New Zealand. Bursting
with a lot of the typical New Zealand fruity character with tropical aroma highlights of
passionfruit, mango, and peach. An excellent hop for late hop additions where a prominent hop
character is desired in beers such as Pale Ales, ESB, and IPA's. Developed as a dual purpose hop
delivering "soft" bitterness.
ORIGIN / HISTORY
It was recently released as result of the dedicated work of Dr Ron Beatson’s research team.
