MOTUEKA HOPS

Formerly known as Belgian Saaz or B Saaz, Motueka is a premier New Zealand hop. Developed by HortResearch, this triploid was bred from Saaz and an unnamed New Zealand breeding strain and lends itself well to Lagers, Pilsners and Belgian Ales. Lively and lifted lemon and lime notes followed by a background impression of tropical fruits, Motueka™ offers a unique aroma and flavour. Desirable in dual-purpose applications due to its relatively high alpha, the variety is an excellent hop in many applications from first kettle additions through to late gift.
