Pacifica Hop Plant

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: NEW ZEALAND
ALPHA 6.5%-8.5%
LIME / LEMON / GUAVA / PASSION FRUIT/ MARMALADE

FLAVOUR:
Pacifica™ displays classic Hallertau citrus and floral aroma character which is 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. Bittering quality is such that early kettle additions bring a soft yet solid finish even in highly bittered beers. Orange marmalade aptly describes the citrus aroma notes achieved through a late or whirlpool addition. 

HISTORY:
Bred in New Zealand, triploid aroma hop Pacifica, or Pacific Hallertau as it is sometimes known, is the result of open pollination breeding of German hop Hallertauer Mittelfrüher. The hop was released by HortResearch, New Zealand following promising brewing trials in 1994.

Like Hallertauer Mittelfrüher, Pacifica is mostly known for its aromatic properties. It features moderately low cohumulone and higher carophyllene, which give it a spicy and decidedly floral aroma. Citrus notes are also evident and it is said to impart aromas of orange when used late in the boil. 

GROWTH/YIELD:
Very prolific growth in North Canterbury. Easy harvest of fragrant cones.

BEER STYLES:
Ideally suited to traditional German lager styles and craft Pale Ale.
