It comes from a cross of the New Zealand variety First Choice and an old-line Saaz male, giving it both high alpha power and a more refined aromatic side. The standout character is a combination of bright citrus (lemon, lime, Meyer lemon) and a distinct crushed black pepper spice, backed by herbal notes. Despite its relatively high alpha acids, it delivers a soft, rounded bitterness thanks to moderate cohumulone levels. That combination of clean bittering strength and bold citrus-pepper aroma makes it a versatile dual-purpose hop with more personality than most high-alpha varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlpha Acids: 12 – 14%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Oil: 1.1 – 1.5 mL\/100g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: New Zealand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Pellet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon Substitutions: Magnum (for bittering) or Saaz and Pacifica (in some aroma roles)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yakimavalleyhops.com\/products\/pacific-jade-hop-pellets?variant=41497655607429\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\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\"\u003ePacific Jade works well across the boil. Early additions give a clean, soft bitterness, while late boil, whirlpool, and dry hop additions bring out the citrus and black pepper character. Most brewers use it as a dual-purpose hop, with total rates of 1–3 oz in 5 gallons depending on whether the focus is bittering or aroma. Higher late additions push the pepper and citrus more aggressively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrew day tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eIt pairs especially well with Motueka or other citrus-forward NZ hops when you want to amplify the lemon-lime side, or with classic noble hops when you want the peppery spice to stand out. It also works nicely on its own in pale ales, IPAs, and hoppy lagers where you want both structure and distinctive character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42881781334101,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/0089\/1733\/files\/pacific-jade-new-zealand-view.jpg?v=1787016992","url":"https:\/\/doubledank.beer\/products\/pacific-jade","provider":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
