Pacifica
En relativt ny humlesort, släppt 1994, från Nya Zeelands humleodlingsprogram, framodlad från Hallertauer Mittelfrüh. Aromen är blommig med inslag av citrus.
Brewer’s notes:
The Pacifica brings something of a blend of new and old-world taste descriptors to the brewers' forum. Orange marmalade aptly describes the citrus aroma notes achieved through late addition. Bittering quality is such that early kettle additions net a soft yet solid finish even in highly bittered beers.
“A class act”
