A new and distinct hop plant is described. The new cultivar results out of selection from a population of seedlings derived from deliberate crossing 'Hersbrucker Pure' (seed parent; not patented) and tetraploid selection 00.L123-168 (pollen parent; not patented). The new cultivar, 'NZH131', is characterised by having cones which are mid-season maturing and having medium alpha acid content. The new cultivar is suitable for beer flavouring

Hop plant named 'NZH131'

A new and distinct hop plant is described. The new cultivar results out of selection from a population of seedlings derived from deliberate crossing 'Cascade' (seed parent; not patented) and tetraploid male selection 00.L123-168 (not patented). The new cultivar, 'NZH063', is characterised by having cones which are late-season maturing and having medium alpha acid content. The new cultivar is suitable for beer flavouring.

Hop plant named 'NZH063'

A new and distinct hop plant is described. The new cultivar results out of selection from a population of seedlings derived from deliberate crossing tetraploid 00.L125-09 (seed parent) (not patented) and diploid 99-59-39 (pollen parent) (not patented). The new cultivar, 'Hort4337', is characterised by having cones which are mid-season maturing and having medium alpha acid content. The new cultivar is suitable for beer flavouring.

Hop plant named 'Hort4337'

A new and distinct hop plant is described. The cultivar results out of selection from a population of seedlings derived from the deliberate crossing 'Hersbrucker Pure' (seed parent) (not patented) and 97.72-09 (pollen parent) (not patented). The new variety, 'Hort9909', is characterised by its cones maturing mid-season and having medium Alpha Acid and low cohumulone content. The new variety is suitable for beer flavouring.

Hop plant named 'Hort9909'

A new and distinct hop plant is described. The cultivar results out of selection from a population of seedlings derived from the deliberate crossing the 'Southern Cross' (not patented) and 99-63-31 (not patented). The new variety, 'Hort0605', is characterised by its late maturing and high alpha acid content and low cohumulone content. The new variety is suitable for beer flavouring.

Hop plant named 'Hort0605'

A new and distinct hop plant is described. The triploid cultivar results out of selection from a population of seedlings derived from the deliberate crossing the unreleased selections 00-L125-09 (not patented) and 99-58-39 (not patented). The new variety, 'Hort3953', is distinguished from others by its late spring growth and late cone maturity along with a high alpha:beta acids ratio. The new variety is suitable for beer flavouring.

Hop plant named 'Hort3953'

A new and distinct Hop plant is described. The triploid cultivar results out of selection from a population of seedlings derived from the open pollination of the cultivar 'Hallertauer Mittelfrueh' (not patented). The cones are of a medium size, oval shape and ripen early. The new cultivar produces cones suitable for beer flavouring in the aroma hops market.

Hop plant named 'Hort3829'

A new and distinct Hop plant is described. The cultivar results out of a selection from a population of seedlings derived from the open pollination of a tetraploid seedling selection 95-28-24 (not patented). The cones are of a small size, oval shape, ripen mid-late season, and have slightly open bracts. The cultivar has been shown to have a unique chemistry profile; of particular interest is the high yield of oil per gram of alpha acid.
