Description

Motueka is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process. The Motueka hop has specific aroma descriptors include distinctive fresh crushed citrus, mojito lime character, lively lemon and lime tones with background hints of tropical fruit. It also has fresh herbal notes (basil, rosemary) and hints of dried orchard fruit around the edges. Motueka was originally bred for its dual-purpose application, balanced bitterness and new world “noble” type aroma. The weight of oil to alpha integrates it fully with higher gravity types to balance both malt sweetness and body. Extremely versatile in the brewery.
