PACIFIC GEM


Breeding: A Triploid Alpha type bred from the New Zealand variety “Smoothcone”
crossed with Californian Late Cluster x Fuggle. Developed through the hop

breeding programme of the New Zealand Horticultural Research Centre

known now as HortReseach and released in 1987.

Selection: Does not carry the punchy aromas usually associated with higher Alpha
hops. Pacific Gem contains a good balance of oils which constantly

contributes to its aroma score. A very pleasing hop with useful bittering

potential with Alpha Acids at 13 % and above.

Brewer’s notes: Pacific Gem fills the brew house with enticing aromas during kettle addition
and has been described as producing oaken flavours with a distinct

blackberry aroma. Typically used as a first hop addition and makes its

presence felt through an excellent tempered bitterness and flavour. Well

suited to a wide range of beer styles and lends itself well to European Lager

styles of various bitterness levels.

“A master of consistency”
