Motueka has had several names over the years. It was formerly known as B Saaz and Belgian Saaz and it has become a premier New Zealand hop: with that growing popularity, comes massive demand. This fabulous hop with floral aromas and lemon, lime and other tropical fruit notes used to be very difficult to get hold of in England, until our partnership with Battery Hill, one of the largest hop farmers in New Zealand.

Motueka makes an excellent dual-use hop. The first impressions of Motueka are a very lively and intense lime flavour followed by some hints of lemon zest and tropical fruits. The big citrus notes dominate and give a huge punch and are much of the reason that this hop is so sought-after and popular.

Motueka is perfect for the craft brewer who enjoys experimenting because it can be used at any stage of the brewing process. *It works very well in malty, sweet and fruity beers and is genuinely a very versatile hop.*
