NewZilla Hops

NewZilla is a vibrant, proprietary blend of New Zealand-grown hops developed by Hop Alliance in collaboration with Pikimai Hops. Originating from the lush hop-growing region of Tapawera, this blend unites several premium NZ varieties into a single, consistent hop offering. Designed to meet the demands of modern hop-forward beer styles, NewZilla delivers a potent mix of tropical, citrus, and stone fruit aromas, making it a go-to choice for homebrewers looking to craft juicy IPAs, Hazy Pale Ales, and other fruit-forward ales.

Flavor-wise, NewZilla bursts with tropical notes like guava, passionfruit, and pineapple, layered with bright citrus—lemon, lime, and orange zest—and rounded out by stone fruit and fig-like undertones. Gooseberry adds a subtle tartness that deepens the complexity. With a moderate alpha acid content, NewZilla performs well both as a bittering and aroma hop, giving homebrewers the flexibility to use it throughout the boil or in dry hopping. Whether you're chasing a tropical haze bomb or looking to add depth to a pale ale, this hop blend delivers consistency, bold aroma, and a balanced bitterness that can elevate any brew.
