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 Mittlefrüh variety.
Pacifica displays classic Hallertau citrus and floral aroma character which selectors mark as a real standout. The aroma is supported by a generous oils profile making selection possible for several beer styles from this stylish hop.
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.
