Pacifica is a New Zealand-developed hop variety that is known for its citrus and floral aroma characteristics, as well as its herbal additions. It was bred through the open pollination of Hallertauer Mittlefrüh and released in 1994 and has quickly become a popular choice for brewers around the world. Pacifica’s unique terroir gives it a distinctive flavour that sets it apart from other hops varieties and makes it an excellent choice for Pale Ales, IPAs, and other styles where a bold hop flavour is desired.
What are the most citrusy hops from New Zealand?
The most citrusy hops from New Zealand are probably Nelson Sauvin hops. They have a strong grapefruit flavour and aroma, which makes them perfect for IPAs and pale ales. Some other citrusy hops from New Zealand include Motueka and Pacific Jade. All of these hops are high in alpha acids, so they can impart a lot of bitterness to your beer. If you’re looking for some hops that will give your beer a big citrus flavour, then you should definitely try Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, or Pacific Jade.
What are Kiwi hops?
Kiwi hops are becoming increasingly popular, and are being used in a number of craft beers. Any hops grown in New Zealand can be interchangeably called Kiwi hops. Some breweries that have used Kiwi hops include Sierra Nevada, Dogfish Head, and Stone Brewing. If you’re looking for a beer with a unique flavour and aroma, be sure to try one brewed with Kiwi hops.
