Orange Sunrise^® Hops

Orange Sunrise^® is a masterfully curated aromatic powerhouse designed to deliver a high-definition citrus experience. Bred at Wild About Hops in New Zealand, this variety boasts a global pedigree, descending from a United States male and a United Kingdom female plant. This "best of both worlds" lineage results in a robust fruit profile that has become a definitive tool for the "new school" of craft brewing. Unlike many single-origin varieties, Orange Sunrise^® is celebrated for its remarkable consistency, ensuring that every batch provides the same saturated, sun-drenched character. It is an ideal choice for brewers looking to push the boundaries of fruit-forward profiles through hops alone, offering a reliable, vibrant presence that defines modern aromatics.

The sensory profile of Orange Sunrise^® is a vivid, multi-layered celebration of everything citrus. It leads with a primary, "saturated" bouquet of freshly squeezed orange juice, sweet clementine, and tangerine zest, followed by a sophisticated secondary layer of tropical apricot and soft floral honey. As the profile develops, brewers will find a bright, candy-like sweetness and a subtle hint of herbal spice that remains exceptionally clean on the palate. Thanks to its remarkably low cohumulone levels and high essential oil saturation, Orange Sunrise^® delivers a soft, non-clashing bitterness and a lush finish—making it the perfect fit for high-impact pales and India pale ales.
