Released in 1987 by the New Zealand DSIR Research Station, Pacific Gem is a high-alpha triploid derived from Smoothcone. While hardy in New Zealand, it generally does not grow well in the United States. It is said to contribute a cask-oak or woody character and blackberry notes when used in bittering.
