Pacifica

Pacifica was bred by HortResearch and has noble European ancestry through an open cross with Hallertau Mittelfruh. It was released in 1994.

Pacifica is an aroma hop that is typically used in only late boil additions, including dry hopping.

Pacifica has aroma descriptors that include a signature citrus orange zest marmalade; classic Hallertau characteristics with some floral notes. Moderate and highly pleasant. Orange marmalade and delicate citrus aromas come from this hop, blended with a very Old World Hallertau-esque warmth. It also has new-mown hay and honey with tangy herbal and sweet floral notes.
