Green Bullet is a classic New Zealand hop prized for both its bittering strength and versatile flavour contribution. While known for its high alpha acid content, it stands apart from many traditional bittering varieties thanks to its expressive aromatic profile, featuring spicy dried fruit notes, subtle florals, and a distinctive resinous backbone.
Its rich oil composition creates an appealing balance between floral character and robust pine-like hop traits, delivering a clean, lasting bitterness with depth and complexity. Long regarded as a cornerstone of New Zealand brewing, Green Bullet earned its reputation as a premium lager bittering hop, though it has become increasingly popular in bold ale styles where its character can truly shine.
A gentle spice note, reminiscent of classic Styrian hops, makes Green Bullet equally suited to traditional bitters, strong ales, and even Irish-style dry stouts. Renowned as a dependable brewhouse workhorse, it performs exceptionally well across a range of applications, from kettle additions for bitterness through to whirlpool, hop-back, and dry-hop use for enhanced flavour and aroma.
Reliable, distinctive, and remarkably adaptable, Green Bullet remains a favourite choice for brewers around the globe.
