About
Selected for its high average alpha content, as well as 'bold' aromas delivering herbal infusions of fresh citrus and crushed black pepper. Suited mainly as a bittering hop providing pleasing, soft bitterness due to its low cohumulone, it has also seen excellent results in dual purpose applications.
Origin
Developed by the cross of New Zealand First Choice and an Old Line Saazer Male; NZ Pacific Jade was released from the New Zealand Hop Research Programme by HortResearch Centre Riwaka in 2004.
