New Zealand Wai-iti Hops (Pellets)

    Description

    Wai-iti® Hops – A Burst of Bright Citrus & Stone Fruit

    Wai-iti® hops deliver a vibrant, juicy flavor profile packed with luscious peach, apricot, and ripe citrus notes. With a low alpha acid content and smooth bitterness, this New Zealand variety shines in late additions and dry hopping, bringing bright lime zest and sweet fruit aromas to the forefront. Perfect for sessionable pale ales, hazy IPAs, and aromatic lagers, Wai-iti® offers a refreshing, delicate complexity that enhances both hop-forward and subtly nuanced brews. Looking for a soft, tropical twist? Wai-iti® is your go-to for crisp, flavorful balance.
     
    A MoreBeer! Exclusive (or near exclusive!).  We loved this hop so much we bought almost all of the Wai-iti hops that were available in the U.S.. Available at a really great price when compared to other NZ hops.  Ballast Point made a Sculpin® Double IPA cask version with Wai iti hops that was incredible.

        perfect hop for a NZ Pils

        Used this as the final addition for a NZ Pilsner... couldn't be more happy with the results... presented as a nice combination of tropical and stone fruit with Nelson & Motueka

        Love the lime and citrus

        Wai-iti complemented some motueka in a pale ale that turned out fantastic. Heaps of lime and citrus character in the aroma. Awesome!

        My favorite hop

        Outstanding, I use together with Strisselspalt and Mosaic as finishing hops in my saison. No substitution has been satisfactory.

        These are delicious

        I made a simple American Wheat beer and also a more hop forward "Wheat Saison" with these hops by splitting a 5 gallon batch of plain old 1.048 wheat beer (nothing but 2-row and wheat) between two small fermenters and pitching different yeast (S-05 and Bella Saison). Mandarin orange flavor is more prevalent in the American Wheat, where the Saison has more pronounced lime, and since it's 10 points drier, what comes across as bitter orange vs sweeter orange. Both are delicious and I would make them again. I think you could use them in a WIT beer as a hoppy replacement for the spices and get a really good result. I'm going to use them in a blonde Belgian in the near future, and I will certainly buy more of them even though they are a bit pricy.
