Dr Rudi is a highly regarded dual-purpose hop that has evolved from its roots as a bold, high-alpha variety into a favourite among brewers seeking both bitterness and aroma. When used later in the brewing process, it reveals vibrant notes of fresh citrus zest layered with pine and subtle lemongrass nuances.
Exceptionally versatile in the brewhouse, Dr Rudi delivers a clean, crisp bitterness while also contributing distinctive aromatic complexity. Its characteristic New Zealand oil profile gives it remarkable flexibility, allowing it to complement a wide range of beer styles. Widely embraced by breweries around the world, it is valued for its ability to create balance and depth in both ales and lagers.
Simply put, it's an outstanding hop with impressive all-round performance.
