Hop Wakatu Organic (NZ) in pellets T90 in 5 kg bag - This Hallertau Triploid typically has a very restrained floral character which selectors say is atop
an aroma of freshly-zested lime. These excellent brewing qualities carry right through from
selection to the finished beer and it is due, in part to this ability that this hop is selected by
several major brewers internationally. True dual purpose organic hop with enviable alpha:beta
ratio. Measures up on flavor scores as well as flavor stability trials. Often used in International
Premium Lagers.
ORIGIN / HISTORY
New Zealand origin. Developed as an Aroma variety by New Zealand’s HortResearch Hop
Breeding Programme. This triploid was bred from parentage of two-third Hallertau Miitlefrüh
open pollinated by one third New Zealand-derived male. As a small plot trial it showed great
potential as a dual-purpose variety and was released commercially from Hort’s Riwaka
Research Centre in 1988.
