Azacca Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Azacca hops are a modern American aroma hop prized for their vibrant tropical fruit character and juicy citrus complexity. Originally developed by the American Dwarf Hop Association and grown primarily in Washington’s Yakima Valley, Azacca hops contribute expressive notes of mango, pineapple, citrus, and stone fruit with subtle hints of berry and pine.

With moderate to high alpha acids and a rich oil content, Azacca provides smooth bitterness while delivering bold hop flavor and aroma. This balance makes it especially popular for brewers crafting modern hop-forward beers where tropical fruit notes and juicy aromatics are the focus.

Azacca performs particularly well in late boil additions, whirlpool hopping, and dry hopping where its bright tropical fruit and citrus aromas can fully develop.

Azacca hops are widely used in modern craft brewing thanks to their bold tropical fruit aroma and balanced bitterness.

Ideal for:

• Hazy IPA
• American IPA
• American Pale Ale
• Wheat Beer
• Session Ale

When paired with other tropical-forward hop varieties such as Citra, Mosaic, or Amarillo, Azacca helps create layered fruit-forward hop profiles that define many modern IPA recipes.

• Add early in the boil to contribute smooth bitterness
• Use late boil additions to enhance citrus and tropical fruit flavor
• Add during whirlpool or hop stand to maximize juicy hop aroma
• Dry hop during fermentation to create bright tropical aromatics
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve freshness and hop oils

Azacca pairs well with other American hop varieties such as Citra, Mosaic, Amarillo, and Simcoe to create complex tropical fruit hop character in hop-forward beer styles.
