There are several Hallertauer types, with Gold being the highest AA at ~6. Yours seem awfully high. Looks like some changes to your hop additions are in order.

Tradition should still fall into 3.5-5.5 AA.

The New Zealand Hallertauer is 7-8%

I know, they do say though on their page what origin it is and it does say Germany:

Mildly annoyed because I have never ever seen Hallertau from Germany come out this high and if it's a mistake I'm not sure I can trust what the real AA is... and I'm brewing this weekend. Depending on what info I get from Midwest I may have to substitute with MT Hood, I have quite a few ounces of it.

Well, I spoke with their support staff and the guy went and checked with their hop guy. he said the number is correct and they are from Germany. He said he was told that had only one box or so come in with that high alpha percentage.
