Intended as a bittering hop, but like many of its fellow New Zealand varieties that followed, Super Alpha aka Dr Rudi possesses an oil profile that suits modern craft styles very well. Try it in a hoppy lager, bitters and pale ales.

Dr Rudi hops have a moderate aroma and flavor which is sweetly grassy with overtones of lemongrass, pine sap and dried fruit.
