It brings floral, spicy, and herbal notes with some light citrus and stone fruit underneath. Unlike many of the bolder, fruit-forward New Zealand hops, Pacifica leans closer to noble hop territory (think Hallertau or Saaz), but with a bit more brightness and lift. It’s often used when brewers want floral and spicy character without going full tropical. Little\/no \"classic NZ\" traits.\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 5 – 6%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.0 – 1.5 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 Hallertau or Saaz (in some recipes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/beermaverick.com\/hop\/pacifica\/\" 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\"\u003ePacifica works well for both aroma and some bittering. It performs nicely in late boil and whirlpool additions, where it adds floral, spicy, and herbal notes. It’s not as loud or fruity as many modern NZ hops, so it plays well in a wider range of styles, including lagers, pilsners, and more balanced IPAs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eOn the dry hop side, 1.5–3 oz total in 5 gallons is usually plenty. It doesn’t need heavy rates to be noticed, and going too hard can make the herbal and spicy notes feel a bit harsh. It tends to work best when used with a lighter touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBrew day tip: It pairs especially well with Nelson Sauvin or Motueka if you want to build floral and herbal complexity, or it can stand on its own in more traditional styles.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42575946842197,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/0089\/1733\/files\/pacifica-hops-cold-ocean.jpg?v=1780763331","url":"https:\/\/doubledank.beer\/products\/pacifica-hops","provider":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
