The ‘Mojito’ Hop

What sets Motueka apart from other New Zealand hops is its fresh, crushed citrus "Mojito" lime flavor profile that is both lively and vibrant. It’s an aroma hop with a beautiful tropical fruit salad character and hints of basil and rosemary.

You’ll notice it’s used in many New Zealand beer styles because it compliments Nelson Sauvin so beautifully. They’re like the salt and pepper of New Zealand hop varieties - they just go together so well and are excellent at enhancing flavor.

Due to its lemon-lime flavor, Motueka is an excellent choice for light-bodied styles. For stronger beer styles, its weight of oil to alpha integrates well and shines against the malty sweetness and big body.
