Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailMotueka - Hop Essence Series

Motueka (pronounced Moe-too-AYE-kuh) is a region on the northern tip of the South Island of New Zealand. This hop, a descendant of the Saaz variety, was created through breeding trials from New Zealand's Hort Research. The thought behind this brew was to create a malt base with the flavors of a German Maibock, providing an underlying sweetness for the mango and lime flavors of the Motueka hop. Thus, the beer style was dubbed a "hoppy Maibock-style ale." You should expect to see this hop in future Brewmaster Jack brews in conjunction with Australian Galaxy hops.
