The Alpha Acid content of the Motueka hops is between 6.5% and 8.5%. This variety of hops contain 29% cohumulone which means that it contains ample amounts of Alpha Acids and Beta Acids responsible for the bitter flavour of the beer. This high value of Alpha Acid contributes to the solid bitterness of the final brew.
