Rakau hops are suitable for use both as bittering and aroma. Developed as a true dual purpose variety typically with alpha acid above 10% delivers soft bitterness through low levels of Cohumulone less than 25% of alpha acids. Can be used for multiple additions with late hop character delivering tropical fruit aromas of passion fruit and peach. Quite high levels of oil with an H/C ratio typical of classical aroma varieties. This variety has a lot of typical New Zealand fruity character so would be best suited to new world styles of ale and lager as well as pales and "big" IPAs.
