1oz BIG HOPS High Alpha MOUTERE™ 1oz Hop Pellets (NZ) Uniquely Wild and Tropical for big IPA’s from Artisan Hops

A  New Zealand high alpha hop uniquely wild and tropical for big IPA’s from Artisan Hops.  A high alpha hop with distinctive tropical, grapefruit and passion fruit characters.  Moutere™ is a big hop delivering high alpha acid with a generous weight of oil while its lower cohumulone provides a soft well-structured but solid bitterness.  Moutere is intensely tropical and fruity with dominant grapefruit and passionfruit notes, and undertones of fresh cut hay, earthy baking spice, and resinous pine.  The high alpha and low cohumulone make it an excellent bittering hop, but brewers will find it difficult to not make use of its pungent tropical aromatics and high oil content for aroma additions. Given its outsized personality, Moutere™ is a big hop for big IPAs, but its tropical flavors are also great for mixed-culture fermentations, wheat beers, and fruited hoppy styles.  A triploid variety bred from Southern Cross and a New Zealand male, Moutere™ was originally released in 2015.
