Rakau™ Hops
Lush, ripe, and full of orchard vibes. Rakau is like biting into a perfectly juicy stone fruit—peach, apricot, and plum with a soft tropical haze and a touch of pine. It’s a fruit bomb with structure, bringing both aroma and flavour in spades. Ideal for hazies, big IPAs, or adding a soft fruity pop to balanced brews.
Flavour Notes: Apricot, peach, plum, tropical fruit, soft pine.
Best In: Hazy IPAs, Pale Ales, NZ-hopped hybrids, Amber Ales.
Style Vibes: Juicy, ripe, aromatic and smooth.
Bold, bright, and unmistakably Kiwi, with notes of gooseberries, grapefruit, citrus zest, layered over a resinous pine backbone. Nelson Sauvin, Rakau, and NZ Chinook deliver a crisp bitterness and lingering dry finish. Making each sip clean, punchy and refreshingly moreish. Naturally carbonated.
