Bursting with sweet citrus personality, Riwaka packs a punch with notes of juicy grapefruit and zesty kumquat. Considered to be one of the darling hops of the New Zealand craft beer scene, this aroma hop boasts an oil-rich profile and a near-perfect alpha-to-beta acid balance. Descending from Saaz, Riwaka is the ultimate pick for hoppy beers that need a bright, unmistakable character.

Feedback from brewers: “Super fresh aroma (could be mistaken for fresh cone hops). Gooseberry and grapefruit smacked me in the face – pretty much took my breath away. Fantastic! This to me is the Riwaka of old – blew me away. Amazing punchy hop characteristics!!” - Nelson Brewery
