KOHATU HOPS

Introduced alongside Wai-iti in 2011, Kohatu® derives its name from the Maori word for “stone” or “rock”, paying homage to the picturesque town of Kohatu situated beside the Motueka River in the southwest region of Nelson, New Zealand. While not as fruit-forward as its counterpart Wai-iti, Kohatu offers a distinct aromatic profile dominated by tropical fruit notes and the invigorating scent of freshly crushed pine needles, imparting a refreshing character to beers. Despite its modest alpha acid content, when employed as an early addition, Kohatu contributes a pleasing and well-balanced bitterness to the brew.
