Moutere™ is a powerful high-alpha New Zealand hop celebrated for its bold fruit-forward character and smooth, refined bitterness. Its rich essential oil profile showcases vibrant notes of grapefruit, passionfruit, tropical fruit, and resinous pine, creating a flavour experience that is both intense and well-balanced.
Combining impressive alpha acid levels with a generous concentration of aromatic oils, Moutere delivers exceptional versatility in the brewhouse. Its naturally low cohumulone content contributes to a soft, structured bitterness that provides depth without harshness, making it equally effective as a primary bittering hop or a flavour and aroma addition.
Sensory evaluations consistently highlight bright grapefruit, subtle tropical fruit, and distinctive passionfruit notes in the finished beer. When used early in the boil, Moutere creates a smooth bitterness that integrates seamlessly into the palate. Late additions unlock its full aromatic potential, revealing layers of citrus, tropical fruit, and resinous complexity.
Perfectly suited to classic lagers, pale ales, modern IPAs, and hazy NEIPAs, Moutere brings both impact and balance, offering brewers a uniquely New Zealand expression of flavour, aroma, and bitterness.
