Wai-iti Hops:

The Wai-iti hop is a modern triploid hop that brings a fresh burst of lime and stone fruits. It has been marketed since 2011 and features higher beta acids than alpha acids, low cohumulone, and a robust oil content. Beyond its magnificent aromatic aspects, its composition makes it perfect for beer structure. It will help maintain the beer's bitterness level over time.

The Wai-iti hop is elegant and fragrant with dominant notes of stone fruits (notably peach and apricot) with tones of lime and mandarin in addition to pleasantly intense tropical fruits. Its noble side is inherited from Hallertau Mittlefrüh, of which it is partly a descendant.

It is frequently used for Pale Ale, India Pale Ale, and Wheat Beer styles.
