Discover the Juicy, Tropical Intensity of Mackinac Hops

Mackinac Hops are a fruit-forward, aroma-driven variety bred for modern hop-forward beer styles. With bright tropical notes of pineapple, mango, and citrus, Mackinac is a prime choice for IPAs, pale ales, hazy beers, and fruit-forward lagers. Its intense aroma, low co-humulone, and smooth bitterness make it an excellent standalone hop or a powerful complement to other juicy varieties.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Mackinac Hops deliver a vibrant fruit explosion:

  • Tropical & Fruity: Pineapple, mango, and stone fruit.
  • Citrus & Sweet Berry: Bright tangerine, grapefruit, and sweet berry undertones.
  • Floral & Smooth: Subtle floral notes with a soft, balanced finish.

Brewing Applications

Mackinac Hops excel in creating juicy and complex hop-forward beers:

  • Aroma & Flavor Additions: Best added late in the boil or whirlpool to capture its vibrant tropical fruit essence.
  • Dry Hopping: Enhances the hop aroma in hazy IPAs, NEIPAs, and fruit-forward ales.
  • Blending: Works well with Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado to develop layered hop complexity.
