Hop Variety Description

A cross of a New Zealand breeding selection with Saaz parentage, Motueka™ was developed by New Zealand’s HortResearch for its new world “noble” type aroma.Optimally applied in late or dry-hopping, Motueka™ provides a clean citrus character with exotic fruit undertones. An early season maturing variety, Motueka™ grows vigorously on a columnar frame and produces a low to medium yield of cylindrical, open, loose cones. All New Zealand hops are disease free.
