Hops sold as New Zealand Hallertau or New Zealand Hallertauer are not simply Hallertauer Mittelfrüher hops grown in New Zealand, as the name might suggest, but a new triploid cultivar developed in New Zealand, with a heritage that is two-thirds Hallertauer Mittelfrüher and one-third native New Zealand hop. The resulting hop is a clean dual-purpose lager hop with a floral and lime zest character.
