Superdelic T90 Hop Pellets
Superdelic™ is the exciting new hop from New Zealand’s breeding program — a vibrant, fruit-forward variety designed for creative, modern brewers. Its name says it all: this hop delivers a super-delicious mix of sweet candy, red fruit, and tropical aromas that transform your beer into an aromatic explosion.
A triploid variety bred for flavor intensity and versatility, Superdelic thrives in late additions, whirlpool stages, and dry hopping, especially when added during active fermentation to unlock deeper biotransformation character.
Aroma & Flavor Profile
Superdelic offers an irresistible sensory experience:
-
Sweet fruit candy – the signature “lolly” aroma that defines its character
-
Red berry & stone fruit – notes of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry
-
Tropical & citrus – hints of mango, passionfruit, and zesty orange
-
Overall profile – juicy, bright, and expressive with a playful sweetness
When used during active fermentation, Superdelic enhances juicy tropical tones and red fruit depth, making it ideal for hazy, fruit-forward beers.
