Clayton CIP 076 Hops
The exciting new kid on the block. CIP 076 is an experimental New Zealand hop from Clayton's innovation program - a cross of Saaz with a secret Kiwi selection - and brewers trialling it have not been quiet about it. Expect intense ripe orange, peach and nectarine, with passionfruit and orange blossom riding underneath. High oil and lower alpha make it a flavour-and-aroma weapon rather than a bittering workhorse, so it shines on the hot side and absolutely sings as a dry hop. Limited release for now, full commercial launch around 2027 - get in early if you can.
Flavour Notes: Ripe orange, peach, nectarine, passionfruit, orange blossom.
Best In: Hazy IPAs, Pale Ales, Pilsners, Pacific Ales.
Style Vibes: Juicy, tropical, properly exciting.
The Boldest of the Brood
A crisp Bright NZ Pilsner showcasing the Clayton Hops Innovation Project variety CIP 076, alongside Bold River, Wakatu, Freestyle and Motueka. Expect a tropical citrus burst of orange and lime, a kick of fresh stone fruit and a classic herbal pilsner finish. Naturally carbonated.
