Wai-iti™ is a lush, peachy stone fruit with lemongrass and herbal characters complementing a lovely light citrus aroma. She is the perfect hop for late additions and bringing peach stone fruit flavours to classic American beer styles.
She also pairs well with others like Simcoe, Citra, Nelson Sauvin™, Motueka™, Nectaron® and Riwaka™ 💚

Developed by the New Zealand Institute for Bioeconomy Science Limited hop breeding program and released in 2011, Wai-iti™ has both European and North American ancestry.

Today we celebrate an incredible honour for an even more incredible person - Dr Ron Beatson, who has been awarded the New Zealand Order of Merit in the King’s Birthday Honours for services to horticulture.

Dr Ron has devoted his entire career to advancing hop breeding in New Zealand. Over more than 40 years, he led the hop research and development programme at Plant & Food Research, (now known at the Bioeconomy Science Institute) working closely with growers and scientists to shape the future of the industry. Thanks to his leadership, many of the hop varieties grown and exported from New Zealand today, including world-renowned favourites, were developed.

Even in retirement, Dr Ron’s impact hasn’t slowed. As Brand Ambassador for NZ Hops Ltd, he continues to champion New Zealand hops on the global stage, sharing his knowledge and passion at international conferences and industry events. He’s such a legend, we even named one of our hops, Nectaron®, in his honour.

Dr Ron’s dedication, expertise, and generosity have left a lasting legacy on our industry and inspired so many along the way. We couldn’t think of anyone more deserving of this recognition.

Congratulations, Dr Ron 💚

Kohatu® is a dual-purpose hop offering bright fresh citrus notes and light tropical sweet passionfruit characters, with pine aromatics. Brewers have found her to deliver clear, crisp citrus freshness and a light tropical aspect that lends itself to modern bright beer styles e.g. Pale Ales, NZ Pilsners, Lagers, and lighter beer styles. A versatile addition to the brewhouse💚
