Riwaka Hop Cone

Riwaka™

Riwaka is known for its intense citrus character, led by grapefruit zest, lime, and lemon peel, layered with subtle tropical fruit and light diesel-like notes that add depth and intrigue. Its aroma is vivid and saturated, offering a clean fruit profile that cuts through even the most hop-forward beers. In dry hop and whirlpool additions, Riwaka’s intensity shines bright, punchy, and unmistakably New Zealand.

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.
