Saaz Hops – Classic Noble Aroma Hop for Pilsner & Lager

Saaz hops (Czech: Žatecký poloraný cervenák) are among the most traditional and globally recognized aroma hop varieties. Named after the town of Žatec in the Bohemia region of the Czech Republic, Saaz is one of the famous “Noble Hops” and a key ingredient in authentic Pilsner and classic European lager styles.

Saaz Hop Aroma Profile

Saaz is valued for its refined, delicate, and well-balanced aroma:

  • Mild spicy character
  • Herbal notes
  • Subtle floral tones
  • Slight earthy nuances
  • Soft and smooth bitterness

With its typically low alpha acid content, Saaz is ideal as a late addition hop, whirlpool hop, or for subtle dry hopping in traditional beer styles.

Typical Beer Styles

  • Bohemian Pilsner
  • German-style Lager
  • Helles
  • Belgian Ales
  • Traditional European beer styles

Product Characteristics

  • Origin: Czech Republic (Žatec / Bohemia region)
