Saaz | Hop pellets Type 90

Product information "Saaz | Hop pellets Type 90"

Saaz Hops is one of the oldest and most renowned aroma hop varieties in the world. As a classic Czech landrace hop, it represents a noble, mild aroma that has shaped traditional beer styles for centuries. With its floral, delicately spicy character and signature notes of bergamot, chamomile, honey, and woody spice, Saaz hops add a touch of elegance to every beer.

Thanks to its balanced bitterness, this aroma hop is ideal for late hop additions – especially in Pilsners, lagers, and other classic European beer styles. Processed as Type 90 pellets, Saaz hops allow for efficient dosing and gentle storage.

For brewers who value authentic hop character, Saaz is an excellent choice – with suitable substitutes such as Tettnanger or Spalter if the original variety is not available.
