Riwaka hop is characterized by tropical fruit notes such as passion fruit, grapefruit and lemon, together with citrus traces and a herbal touch.
Riwaka hop is a variety originally from New Zealand, developed by New Zealand Hops Limited. With an alpha acid content between 4.5% and 6.5%, it is ideal for aromatic use rather than for imparting bitterness. Its high concentration of essential oils, especially myrcene, contributes to its distinctive aromatic profile.
