Waimea hop cone

Waimea™

 Waimea™ is a robust New Zealand hop known for its high alpha acids and intense aromatic profile. It delivers vibrant tropical fruit notes—think passionfruit, pineapple, and citrus—alongside pine and resinous undertones. With firm bitterness and a juicy, complex aroma, Waimea is perfect for IPAs, double IPAs, and other hop-forward styles.

Sensory Analysis

Amarillo is a game-changer for our brews. The bright citrus punch especially the orange and grapefruit notes, bring our IPA to life. It's smooth and versatile and delivers the  bold aroma we love.
