Cascade – Taiheke – NZ Hops – 100g

Taiheke, formerly known as New Zealand Cascade, is a versatile dual-purpose hop with bright citrus character leaning towards grapefruit and lime, supported by sweet-fruit notes. New Zealand growing conditions give it a profile distinct from US-grown Cascade.

• Pack size: 100g
• Origin: New Zealand
• Use: bittering, late additions and dry hopping

Helpful brewing information

Taiheke suits pale ales, IPAs, golden ales and refreshing modern lagers. Use it early for bitterness, late in the boil or whirlpool for flavour, or as a dry hop for the freshest citrus aroma.

Alpha acid varies by harvest, so use the percentage printed on the pack when calculating bitterness. Store sealed, cold and protected from oxygen.

These hops are not identical substitutes. Recalculate bitterness from the alpha-acid figure printed on the actual pack.
