Description
Superdelic T90 Hop Pellets are a distinctive New Zealand aroma hop bursting with red fruit, candy, citrus and tropical fruit character. Developed through the NZ Hops breeding programme, Superdelic offers brewers a modern flavour profile that stands apart from traditional hop varieties.
Its combination of ripe fruit and sweet candy-like notes makes Superdelic particularly suited to modern hop-forward beers. It can be used alone or paired with other expressive New Zealand and American hop varieties.
Aroma & Flavour
Superdelic can contribute:
- Red fruit
- Candy / lolly
- Citrus
- Tropical fruit
- Ripe mango
- Sweet berry
Its vibrant fruit character makes Superdelic an excellent choice for beers where hop aroma and flavour take centre stage.
Brewing with Superdelic Hops
Superdelic works particularly well in late-boil, whirlpool and dry hop additions where its distinctive fruit character can shine.
It also shows excellent potential during active fermentation, where dry hopping can enhance its expressive fruit character through biotransformation. Superdelic can be used as a single hop or combined with varieties such as Citra, Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Riwaka.

Hop Substitutes
Superdelic has a distinctive flavour profile, so there is no exact substitute. However, Nectaron, Riwaka or Nelson Sauvin may be considered when another expressive New Zealand aroma hop is required.
Each hop has its own flavour profile and alpha acid level. Therefore, adjust your recipe and hop quantities as required when making a substitution.
