Hop NZ Waimea 1 oz

Waimea is a dual purpose hop bred and released by the NZ Hort Research Centre in 2012. Waimea is known for vigorous growth; produced in an area that is desease free. The granddaughter of Pacific Jade, it offers assertive citrus fruit aromas with subtle pine notes.

Origin: Waimea is a dual purpose hop bred and released in 2012. Known for vigorous growth, Waimea claims parentage from Californian Late Cluster, Fuggle and Saaz.

Usage: Aroma. Waimea's typically high alpha acid levels also give it considerable bittering potential, but it is most prized for its high oil content (particularly myrcene), low cohumulone, and aromatic impact in the glass.

To preserve freshness, all BSG HandCraft hops are packaged in nitrogen-flushed, oxygen and light-barrier packages.
