Motueka is a versatile New Zealand dual-purpose hop that can be used throughout the brewing process. It is known for its bright, refreshing citrus character, with an aroma reminiscent of freshly squeezed lime and mojito, supported by subtle tropical fruit notes.

Its distinctive citrus profile makes it an excellent choice for brewers looking to add a fresh, zesty character to their beer. It can be used for bittering, flavour and aroma additions, making it a particularly versatile hop for both traditional and modern brewing.
