Hop type: bittering

Origin: new zealand

Alpha acid: 14.4%

Common styles: American pale ales, ipa

Pacific jade is a high-alpha hop that produces a very soft bitterness, attributable to its low cohumulone content. The smooth bitterness can allow the mouthfeel or flavor characteristics of other ingredients to be featured without sacrificing hoppiness. The bold, citrus and pepper aroma provides excellent results in dual-purpose applications, and nicely compliments full, malty beers. To preserve freshness, all bsg handcraft hops are packaged in nitrogen-flushed, oxygen and light-barrier foil packages. Breeding: triploid alpha type developed by the cross of the nz variety first choice (a relative of the late cluster) and an “old line” saazer male. Released from the new zealand hop research programsme by hortresearch centre riwaka in 2004. Selection: This variety is a recent release out of the new zealand hop research programsme selected on its average alpha of 12-14% with cohumulone in the region of 24% and an excellent oils profile. The aroma of this hop is described as “bold” as it delivers a herbal infusion of fresh citrus and crushed black pepper. Brewing trials have illustrated pacific jade as an excellent hop that delivers a pleasing soft bitterness matched to desirable aroma characteristics. Brewer’s notes: Suited for use as a bittering hop with some excellent results also being seen in dual purpose applications, with a soft bitterness attributable to the low cohumulone. The citrus aroma and flavour notes work well to temper malt sweetness in “fullish” ales especially when used moderately as a finishing hop. Pacific jade is also well suited to balance dryer lager styles when employed as an “up-front” kettle addition to showcase its bittering qualities. “displays great versatility in the brewhouse”
