Granddaughter to Pacific Jade hops, this New Zealand varietal was released in 2012. As a dual purpose brewing ingredient, Waimea hops provide both bittering and aromatic influence on a wide variety of beer styles. With an alpha acid range of 16% to 19%, this super alpha gets its balanced flavor from a bright, fresh aroma of tangelo, citrus, and a touch of woodsy pine. A great hop to use in Pale Ales and IPAs, as well as hoppy Lagers. For a substitution, try other New Zealand varietal Pacific Jade hops.

Waimea hops are a new favorite from the Southern Hemisphere, and demonstrate excellent bittering and aroma potential!  Featuring huge pine and citrus character, including intense tangelo, this has become a new favorite amongst craft brewers.  Due to the high alpha acids and impressive oil content, this is a superior dual purpose hop.  Throw some Southern Hemisphere in your next beer!
