McKenzie™ Hops for Layered Citrus, Melon, and Pacific Northwest Character

McKenzie™ is a U.S. grown hop offered here in T-90 pellets for brewers who want a modern aroma variety with both bright fruit and classic resinous depth. It is associated with grapefruit, lemon, nectarine, melon, and piney herbal notes, giving brewers a profile that can lean clean and expressive rather than one-dimensional. Lot-specific flavor and aroma notes may include Thyme.

That balance makes McKenzie™ useful in hop-forward beers where you want fruit character supported by structure and depth. It performs especially well in late additions, whirlpool, and dry hop use.

Flavor and Brewing Character

McKenzie™ brings layered citrus and fruit notes with a more grounded Pacific Northwest edge than many purely tropical hops. Brewers can expect a mix of grapefruit, lemon, nectarine, melon, pine, and subtle woody herbal character depending on recipe design and timing.

It fits especially well in West Coast IPA, hazy IPA, American pale ale, and hoppy lager recipes where brewers want expressive aroma with enough backbone to stay balanced.

Why Brewers Choose McKenzie™

Brewers choose McKenzie™ when they want a newer American variety that can deliver vivid aroma while still feeling versatile and blend-friendly. It can stand on its own in modern hop-forward beers or support broader hop bills that need citrus, fruit, and a touch of resin.
