Taiheke® hops are a New Zealand variety, but the genetics are very American. Taiheke® used to be known as USDA 56013 and was originally crossed way back in 1956. Its genetics consist of English Fuggle and a male derived from the Russian variety Serebrianka. It was commercially released by the USDA-ARS in 1972 and was sought after for its bright aroma of grapefruit, lime, and sweet fruit.
