Waimea Hops - Pellets (NZ)
Waimea™ is a new New Zealand variety (2012), originally bred for high alpha and bittering qualities, but it is really a dual-use hop. It’s fresh-crushed citrus and understated pine characteristics are very prominent despite its high alpha content. It is useful across many different beer styles. -
$10.00
Willamette Hops - Pellets (NZ)
NZ Willamette Hops is an aroma variety with a mid alpha acid content at 7.0%-9.0%.
Although Willamette can contribute good bittering, NZ Willamette dominates its usage for its flavour and aroma. This results in a delicate peppery herbaceous spice that has both fruit and floral essence. This translates well into most beer styles and can be used in Stouts through to Pale ales and lagers. In big hoppy beers Willamette also pairs well with other citrusy hops.

Pacific Jade Hops - Pellets (NZ)
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 when used moderately as a finishing hop. Pacific Jade™ is also well suited to balance dryer Lager styles when employed as an “up-front” kettle addition to showcase its bittering qualities.

$6.10
Kohatu Hops - Pellets (NZ)
Released in 2011, Kohatu® is a relatively new hop grown in New Zealand. It is a big aroma hop with intense floral characters of pine needles and tropical fruit and displays great quality of bitterness and well rounded fruity hop characters. -
$7.70
Southern Cross Hops - Pellets (NZ)
Used for first addition bittering this hop has no pretence at substitution for noble type. A kettle variety of the highest order Southern Cross imparts a soft bitterness with a subtle resinous quality. The essential oil component is such that it can deliver a delicate balance of citrus and spice when added toward the end of boil. Generally selected for its consistency in mainstream Lagers this hop has also ventured into the craft market as a reliable Brewpub mainstay. -
$10.70 As low as: $6.60
Dr Rudi Hops - Pellets (NZ)
A very versatile hop in the brew house where it can be used to deliver a very crisp bitter edge on the back palate as well as excellent aroma qualities. Like most New Zealand varieties the exceptional oil profile sets it apart as a hop with many applications. -
$9.80
Rakau Hops - Pellets (NZ)
A dual purpose variety typically with alpha acid above 10% and cohumulone less than 25% of alpha acids.
