Pacifica® is a premium New Zealand aroma hop, descended from the renowned German Hallertau Mittelfrüh variety. It is prized for its distinctive orange zest and marmalade-like citrus character, making it an excellent choice for lagers, pilsners, pale ales, wheat beers and Belgian-style ales.
With a smooth bitterness and excellent aroma retention, Pacifica performs well throughout the brewing process. Early additions provide a clean, soft bitterness, while late kettle and whirlpool additions deliver bright citrus notes with subtle floral and spicy undertones.
