Notes of grapefruit and passionfruit define this hop, coupled with notes of pineapple and pine resin. Riwaka delivers smooth bitterness levels that contribute to highly desirable American IPA flavours.

If you want to say “hops” in your beer then this variety says it all. The pure weight of the oil character experienced during selection carries right through to the glass. A punchy addition to the new-world styles of Pale Ale and regional Pilseners. A cult hero that is established in the New Zealand craft beer culture.

Cryo Hops® pellets are the concentrated lupulin of whole-leaf hops containing resins and aromatic oils. It is designed to provide intense hop flavor and aroma, enabling brewers to efficiently dose large quantities of alpha acids and oils without introducing astringent flavors or vegetative material. Cryo Hops® pellets can be utilized anywhere whole-leaf hops and hop pellets are traditionally applied.

Cryo Hops deliver:

• Nearly twice the resin content of traditional T-90 hop pellets

• Intense contribution of hop flavor and aroma

• Reduced grassy and vegetal characteristics

• Increased yield through reduced brewhouse and cellar trub

• Cost savings and net increases in revenue per batch

Cryo Hops solve multiple problems for the brewer by concentrating the flavors of the lupulin into pellets or powder. In short you can make more beer with a less hops.

And with less leaf material in the finished Cryo Hops, less beer is wasted to trub, increasing the yield.
