Kohatu Pellets
Information
Kohatu™ Brand HORT3829 is a triploid aroma type produced through the crossing of a Hallertau Mittlefruh and a New Zealand Male with North American and European parentage. Kohatu™ was released from the New Zealand Plant and Food Research hop breeding programme in 2011.
Kohatu™ has been described as having an intense fresh tropical fruit character during selections and these early sensory evaluations brought this hop to the attention of researchers.
Initial brewing trials displayed a hop of great versatility with excellent stable flavour and aroma impacts. Fruity characters seen in sensory selections had carried through into the finished product, which was very satisfying. Importantly, the real stand out has been the consistency and quality of bitterness in dual purpose applications.
"Excellent flavour and bitterness"
Works really well in single hop applications to show case its fruity aroma characters balanced by the extraordinary quality of bitterness. Higher addition rates can really pack a fruit driven punch in bigger beer styles.
