MOTUEKA™ NEW ZEALAND

Known for its balanced flavor/aroma, this versatile hop was released in 1990 by Washington State University and is sometimes referred to as Super Cascade.

Known for its spicy citrus aroma, this popular hop was released in 1972 by Oregon State University and was named after the Cascade Mountain Range.

Known for its intense citrus notes, this hop has quickly gained popularity amongst brewers and consumers alike and is widely considered one of the most popular varieties for hoppy beer styles since its release in 2007 by Hop Breeding Co. Ltd. Citra’s popularity is obvious for a reason, lending notes of intensely ripe citrus, apricot, peach, and lime aromas to beers. Its intense hop profile is in part due to its high Myrcene oil percentages and high Alpha Acid, despite not being a viable bittering hop. This hop pairs well with other varieties like Pink, El Dorado, Idaho 7, or holds its own well in hop-forward beers.

Since this hop’s release in 2012, it’s become unmistakably one of the most popular hop varieties for brewers and beer drinkers across the world. With intense aromas of mango, pine, tangerine, and lime, this dual-purpose hop has become a workhorse variety on all sides of the brew and elevates any style of beer its used in. Mosaic is the first daughter of Simcoe and Nugget and showcases that lineage through its versatility in the brewing process as both a viable aroma and bittering option.
