Hop German Tradition 1 oz Pellets

Hop Type: Aroma

Origin: Germany

Alpha Acid: 4.0-7.0%

Similar Varieties: Hallertau Mittelfrüh

Origin: Germany. Bred at the Hop Research Institute in  Hüll to replicate a Mittelfrüh-style aroma profile with improved yield and disease resistance, Tradition was released in 1993. 

Usage: Aroma. True to its name, Tradition is right at home in traditional expressions of German styles: pale and dark Munich-style lagers, Oktoberfest, Bock, Weissbier. It does very well in Kolsch and Altbier, and alone or in a blend for classic Pilsners.

Aroma & Flavor Characteristics: Tradition displays a classic Hallertau character of strong herbal and spice components with an underpinning of bright fruit. Complex balance of classic “hoppy” character with floral, earthy, and new-mown hay notes. 

Common Styles: With both Hallertau Mittelfrüh and Saaz parentage, Tradition has the classic character of continental aroma hops, but with higher alpha acid contribution. It's a great hop for any lager or German style. To preserve freshness, all BSG HandCraft hops are packaged in nitrogen-flushed, oxygen- and light-barrier foil packages.
