Product Description
•••••
From the German name for the
Czech town of Zatec, Saaz is the major landrace variety of the hopyards
of the Czech Republic and the quintessential noble hop. It accounts for
over 80% of the total acreage in its home country. Indispensable for
authentic Bohemian-style Pilsner, Saaz possesses a mild but
distinctively quality that is equally at home in other pale lager styles
as well as Belgian and farmhouse ales. The aroma is soft, pleasantly
spicy and herbal with vivid woodsy, earthy, and dark floral character.
Rootstock grown elsewhere doesn't have the same range or balance as
Czech flowers.
To preserve freshness, all BSG HandCraft hops are packaged in
nitrogen-flushed, oxygen and light-barrier packages.
