Wakatu Hop Pellets (NZ Grown) 500gm

A beautifully balanced dual-purpose hop offering vibrant floral aromas and fresh citrus character. Known for its bright, zesty profile, it delivers layers of lime peel, delicate blossoms, and subtle fruit notes that carry seamlessly from selection through to the finished beer.

During evaluation, this variety consistently stands out for its intense citrus expression, often described as freshly grated lime zest. These lively aromatics translate exceptionally well into brewing applications, contributing both flavour and aroma without sacrificing balance or drinkability.

"Simply a great hop."

Versatile across a wide range of brewing styles, this hop performs equally well in bold, heavily hopped ales and more restrained lager styles. High addition rates unlock an abundance of citrus and floral complexity, making it a standout feature in hop-forward beers. Used more delicately, it helps lift and balance richer malt characters, adding freshness and elegance to fuller-bodied lagers.

Whether used for bittering, flavour, or aroma, this adaptable variety consistently delivers bright citrus notes, floral complexity, and exceptional brewing flexibility, making it a valued choice for both traditional and contemporary beer styles.
