Description

Pacific Sunrise has parentage that includes Late Cluster, Fuggle, a European male and a NZ male. It was released by the New Zealand Hort Research program in 2000.

Pacific Sunrise is a bittering hop that is commonly used only to bitter the beer during brewing, and not for too much flavor and aromas.

Pacific Sunrise features favorable bittering properties and a pleasant piney, woodsy aroma. Lemon and orange citrus drive this hop-forward variety, with tropical hits of melon and mango riding shotgun. Stone fruit and jammy sweetness support the initial front line aromatics alongside pleasant floral notes that help round out the overall profile. Subtle, yet notable hints of pine & berry refract through the aroma with lingering bits of hay and herbs that stay in their lane and are not distracting.
