Product information "Saphir | Hop pellets Type 90"
Saphir hops are a refined German aroma variety known for their exceptionally nuanced character. Introduced in 2000, Saphir quickly established itself as one of the pioneering modern flavour hops from Germany – a compelling alternative to classic varieties like Hallertauer Tradition or Spalter Select.
Its aroma profile is particularly complex: notes of citrus, lemongrass, strawberry, black tea, and juniper combine to create an elegant, delicate bouquet. This makes Saphir hops ideal for late hop additions in refined lagers, floral ales, or creative craft beers where subtle, layered aromas are desired.
Processed as Type 90 pellets, the natural aroma of this variety is preserved as best as possible. Saphir is the perfect choice for brewers who see brewing as a fine craft – with attention to nuance and style.
