Rakau stands out from the crowd with its exquisite aroma of stone fruit, specifically the refreshing essence of apricots.

This exceptional hop exhibits complexity and intensity, able to stand on its own as a single hop brew or in combination with others.

Perfect for New World styles of ales and lagers, Rakau is ideal for brewers seeking a bold and vibrant fruity character paired with a robust yet well-balanced bitterness. It adjusts well to lighter beer styles too, even with multiple kettle additions.  Try it with high thiol varieties such as Nelson or Waimea.
