Rakau hops are suitable for use both as bittering and aroma. Developed as a true dual purpose variety typically with alpha acid above 10% delivers soft bitterness through low levels of Cohumulone less than 25% of alpha acids. Can be used for multiple additions with late hop character delivering tropical fruit aromas of passionfruit and peach. Quite high levels of oil with an H/C ratio typical of classical aroma varieties.
This variety has a lot of typical New Zealand fruity character so would be best suited to new world styles of ale and lager as as Pales and “big” IPA’s.
