A unique aroma hop with a powerfully fueled tropical “passion fruit” character
Riwaka is a real standout during selection especially when “rubbing up” for aroma scores its powerful grapefruit “citrusy” characters are literally breathtaking. This variety is seen to have higher than average oil, almost double that of its Saazer parent.
