Description

Wai-iti has a lineage consisting of notable varieties Hallertauer Mittelfruh as a 1/3 parent and Liberty as its grandparent. It was released to the public in 2011.

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

The New Zealand Wai-iti hop is lush and fragrant with dominant notes of stone fruit (notably peach and apricot) with pleasantly intense tropical citrus tones of lime and mandarin.

Some hops just taste better together. We recently analyzed [ 1 ] hundreds of the most popular beers to find which hops are commonly paired together. We found that Motueka , Rakau , Nelson Sauvin & Galaxy hops are commonly used alongside the Wai-iti hop. This is not a complete list, but should give you a good idea of what hops are commonly used together.
