A US equivalent of the longstanding Czech variety, US Saaz hops are ideal for creating pilsners, but they will impart a spicy flavor and earthy aroma to any beer.
A US equivalent of the longstanding Czech variety, US Saaz hops are ideal for creating pilsners, but they will impart a spicy flavor and earthy aroma to any beer.
A common commercial example of this hop in use is by Rogue Brewing in their Dead Guy Ale.
These hops are added at the end of the boil, or after 1 week of fermentation for “dry-hopping”. These hops contribute the flavor and aromas to beer. When dry-hopping, be sure to sanitize the hop sack (if using one) by boiling in hot water or submerging in One-Step No-Rinse solution for a few minutes before adding the hops

A most Noble reviewI've had good success with this hop variety in two of my favorite recipes -- Uncle Monkey's Dunkel and my Herzhafte Dark Wheat Ale. Adds a nice earthy aroma and mild hop flavor to all other recipes that I've tried as well.
