McKenzie Hops for Grapefruit, Lemon, Melon, and Pine

McKenzie hops are U.S.-grown T-90 pellets with a modern Pacific Northwest profile built around grapefruit, lemon, nectarine, melon, pine, and herbal depth. It is a useful hop when you want fruit character with enough classic structure to keep a beer from tasting soft or one-note.

Use McKenzie in West Coast IPA, hazy IPA, pale ale, saison, and American-style hop blends. It can bring bright citrus and melon in late additions, while its pine and herbal side can help anchor fruit-forward recipes.

Flavor and brewing use

  • Primary notes: grapefruit, lemon, nectarine, melon, pine, and subtle herbal character.
  • Best use: late kettle additions, whirlpool additions, hop stands, and dry hopping.
  • Recipe fit: West Coast IPA, hazy IPA, pale ale, saison, and modern American ale.
  • Process note: use the package alpha acid for IBU calculations because crop values vary by lot.

Recipe planning notes

McKenzie is a good bridge hop when a recipe needs both fruit and structure. Pair it with Citra or Mosaic for bigger fruit, with Simcoe or Chinook for more pine, or use it as a trial-hop addition in a pale ale to learn its range.
