Description

First released in 1972, Taiheke is bred from crossing an English Fuggle and a male variety thought to be a crossing of Fuggle with the Russian variety of Serebrianka.

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

Remarkable levels of citrus notes that lean towards tropical fruit characteristics, such as grapefruit, lemon and lime. It is characterized by a floral, citrus profile, with a hint of spice.
