What it does in your beer

Kohatu brings lime, pineapple and fresh tropical fruit, with a medium alpha that keeps bitterness easy to manage. The grower calls it dual purpose, with an excellent finish and quality bitterness.

It works on its own in a single-hop beer, where the fruit is balanced by what the grower calls the extraordinary quality of its bitterness. The grower also notes that higher addition rates can pack a fruit-driven punch in bigger beer styles.
