Peacharine Hops

Peacharine is one of the newest hop varieties to come out of Freestyle Hops' advanced breeding program in New Zealand. As its name suggests, this hop is all about delivering bold stone fruit character, particularly ripe peach and nectarine, supported by a lively citrus backbone. While still relatively new on the brewing scene, Peacharine has already gained attention for its expressive and layered aroma profile, which makes it both a versatile blender and a standout in single-hop beers.

For homebrewers, Peacharine opens up exciting creative possibilities. Its juicy peach and nectarine notes pair seamlessly with tropical fruit-driven hops, while the citrus and lime zest undertones help keep beers bright and refreshing. Many brewers find it particularly compelling in Hazy IPAs, Pale Ales, and hop-forward saisons, where its sweet fruit and subtle floral qualities can shine. It also plays well with thiol-heavy hops like Cascade, boosting tropical complexity and enhancing overall aroma depth. With Peacharine, you can craft beers that balance soft fruit sweetness with zesty citrus lift.
