Description

Pacifica Hops

NZ

DUAL PURPOSE HOP

Applications

Finds application where a higher oil concentration and proportion of Linalool are required to impact on how the hop character integrates into the final product. Ideally suited to traditional German lager styles and finding wider application to a new generation through the international craft market’s insatiable thirst for Pale Ale.

Brewing

Pacifica brings something of a blend of new and old-world taste descriptors to the brewers’ forum. Orange marmalade aptly describes the citrus aroma notes achieved through late addition. Bittering quality is such that early kettle additions net a soft yet solid finish even in highly bittered beers.

Breeding

A triploid aroma type developed through by New Zealand’s Plant & Food Research. Pacifica Brand 77-01 was bred through the open pollination of the highly regarded hallertauer mittelfruh variety. Pacifica was released on completion of successful brewing trials in 1994.

Hops are sold in 100g vacuum sealed bags with specific batch details printed on label. Larger volumes are generally available with a discount for larger volume packs.
