Big Peach-Ring Energy: Sweet, Tropical Dolcita Hops for Modern IPAs
Dolcita Hops are a newer U.S.-grown variety celebrated for their candy-like stone fruit character and rich tropical aromatics. Think vibrant peach rings up front, backed by caramelized pineapple, ripe orange, and a smooth, creamy sweetness that feels right at home in today’s hazy IPAs and fruit-forward pale ales. If you want a hop that tastes “juicy” without being sharp or harsh, Dolcita is an easy win.
Flavor and Aroma Profile
Dolcita Hops bring a layered, sweet-fruit punch with a soft, creamy finish:
- Stone Fruit & Candy: Peach rings, ripe peach, and fruity candy notes.
- Tropical & Creamy: Caramelized pineapple, tropical daiquiri vibes, and a smooth cream-like sweetness.
- Citrus & Bright Fruit: Ripe orange, tangerine, with hints of honeydew melon and coconut.
Brewing Applications
Dolcita shines when you keep it late and let the aromatics do the talking:
- Aroma & Flavor Additions: Excellent in late boil and whirlpool for saturated peach-and-pineapple flavor.
- Dry Hopping: Delivers intense peach ring, orange, and creamy tropical aromatics in IPAs and pale ales.
- Blending: Pairs beautifully with Citra, Mosaic, El Dorado, Krush, and Eclipse for bigger fruit depth and complexity.
