It’s known for its very bright, zesty lime character with floral and herbal undertones. While it doesn’t have the same massive tropical punch as hops like Citra or Galaxy, it brings a clean citrus quality that works especially well in both IPAs and lighter beer styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlpha Acids:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 – 8.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 – 1.2 mL\/100g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e New Zealand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pellet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Substitutions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saaz or Hallertau Blanc (in some recipes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hopsteiner.us\/variety-data-sheets\/Motueka\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMore tech specs here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eMotueka is mostly used for aroma. It performs best in late boil, whirlpool, and dry hopping, where it delivers that bright lime and citrus character. It’s not as loud or complex as some of the bigger tropical hops, which makes it easier to work with in a lot of recipes. It plays well with other hops and doesn’t tend to overpower them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eOn the dry hop side, 2–4 oz total in 5 gallons is a common range. You can push a bit higher if you want more intensity, but it usually stays cleanest when you don’t go too heavy. It works especially well in beers where you want noticeable citrus without a ton of sweetness or resin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBest for: Late boil, whirlpool, and dry hopping. Brew day tip: It pairs nicely with Nelson Sauvin, Citra, or Mosaic if you want to build bright, layered citrus character.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42574352449621,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/0089\/1733\/files\/motueka-hops-hazy-beer-dark-table.jpg?v=1780698534","url":"https:\/\/doubledank.beer\/products\/motueka-hops","provider":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
