Wild and pristine, New Zealand Wakatu hops derive personality from its lush and lively home landscape. A Down-Under take on Hallertau, Wakatu embodies the untamed wild with a zesty, barely-restrained array of magnificent flavor.
Imagine an alpha-acidified Hallertau, and you’ve got New Zealand Wakatu hops with a typical alpha range of 6.5-8.5%. Characterized by moderate bittering and restrained floral notes atop freshly zested lime. A descendent of Hallertau Mittelfruh, Wakatu is a very versatile southern hemisphere hop lending excellent bittering, flavor, and aroma properties.
