Superdelic™ is a triploid variety (cultivar) that was crossed by Dr. Ron Beatson in 2012 through the NZ Hops partnership breeding program with Plant and Food Research (PFR). Superdelic™ was developed from both European and North American ancestry. After showing promise in clonal selection trials, and showing sensory attributes of berry fruit in pilot brewing trials, Superdelic was fast-tracked into the NZ Hops trial hop farm programme in 201, due to its unique aroma and chemistry profile.
This exceptional hop is a playful number, and the unique oil chemistry profile produces red fruit, candy, citrus and tropical fruit characteristics, offering brewers something totally different to use in their craft.
Superdelic™ is a versatile hop that can be used as a single hop addition and has great synergies in combination with other hops. Pairs well with Citra, Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Riwaka.
Superdelic™ is formerly known as Trial Hop NZH-102.

Paired 200g with 100g CryoPop blend in a hazy IPA and it was very good.
Initially when i first opened, there was overwhelming garlic/onion aroma which i was worried would ruin my beer (wasnt there when i first did a smash(edellic) trial). aroma must've blew off as the dry hop bags sat in top of fermenter (magnets) and did not transfer into final product.
