Wakatu™ Brand - NZ Hops

77-05 | Alpha Acids: 5-8.5%

Wakatu is an aroma hop with mid-range bittering properties, well-suited to late and dry hopping additions, adding notable lemon/lime, floral, green tea and spice. Developed by the New Zealand Institute for Bioeconomy Science Limited hop breeding program and released in 1988, it was renamed Wakatu™ in 2011. It is especially suited to Lager, Pilsner, Wheat, or pale ale style beers. It is a great supporting hop for any hoppy ale, and Wakatu™ also has good flavor storage properties in beer. Wakatu™ is a seedless triploid variety with a prominent English and European genetic ancestry.
