Wai-iti® Hops – A Burst of Bright Citrus & Stone Fruit
Wai-iti® hops deliver a vibrant, juicy flavor profile packed with luscious peach, apricot, and ripe citrus notes. With a low alpha acid content and smooth bitterness, this New Zealand variety shines in late additions and dry hopping, bringing bright lime zest and sweet fruit aromas to the forefront. Perfect for sessionable pale ales, hazy IPAs, and aromatic lagers, Wai-iti® offers a refreshing, delicate complexity that enhances both hop-forward and subtly nuanced brews. Looking for a soft, tropical twist? Wai-iti® is your go-to for crisp, flavorful balance.
A MoreBeer! Exclusive (or near exclusive!). We loved this hop so much we bought almost all of the Wai-iti hops that were available in the U.S.. Available at a really great price when compared to other NZ hops. Ballast Point made a Sculpin® Double IPA cask version with Wai iti hops that was incredible.
