A soft bittering/dual purpose hop with fresh citrus and complex spice characters (12-14%AA)
Suited for use as a bittering hop with some excellent results also being seen in dual purpose applications, with a soft bitterness attributable to the low cohumulone. The citrus aroma and flavour notes work well to temper malt sweetness in “fullish” Ales especially as a finishing hop.
'Great versatility in the Brewhouse’
Typically used to replace less interesting Alpha varieties where a softer bitterness and higher oil profile is desired. NZ Pacific Jade™ exemplifies current market direction and what is being achieved in the New Zealand Hops breeding programme.
