GR Hallertau Mittelfrüh

Hop Description

This original noble variety from Germany’s famously productive hop region, Hallertau, has lent its spicy, floral, grassy aroma and gentle bitterness to countless legendary lagers. Over the decades, it’s also passed its favorable characteristics to many hops that are less finicky in the field.
