Hop Profile:
Pacific Jade
We love the fresh, citrusy notes that New Zealand's Pacifc Jade hops bring to the nose of a beer. We also love the slight peppery kick it brings to the taste, especially in our Jalapeño Saison. Mainly used as a bittering hop, Pacific Jade imparts bold orange and fresh ground pepper aromas that work well to balance out sweeter ales and drier lagers.

ORIGIN
A relatively new hop on the scene, Pacific Jade was released from the New Zealand Hop Research Program in 2004. A cross between the New Zealand variety First Choice and Saazer Male, Pacific Jade flourishes in New Zealand where no known hops diseases exist. -
CHARACTERISTICS
Due to its high alpha acidity, Pacific Jade is often used as a bittering hop, but its bold aroma of fresh citrus and spicy pepper makes for a great late boil addition as well. Pacific Jade has great versatility and can be added to all kinds of styles ranging from ales to lagers to barleywines, delivering a soft bitterness to the flavor. -
