Pacific Jade

The Pacific Jade hop is a triploid high-alpha variety bred by HortResearch Centre in Riwaka, NZ. It was released in 2004. Pacific Jade's ancestry includes New Zealand First Choice (itself related to the Late Cluster) and an Old Line Saazer male.

Pacific Jade is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process.

Pacific Jade hops have descriptors that include fresh citrus and complex spice characters with some bold herbal aromas and hints of black pepper. It is suited for use as a bittering hop but also delivers bold aroma characteristics.

Some hops just taste better together. We recently analyzed [ 1 ] hundreds of the most popular beers to find which hops are commonly paired together.

This is not a complete list, but should give you a good idea of what hops are commonly used together.
