Perle

Germany · AA 6–9.5%

Cleaner higher-alpha German bittering hop.

Description

Bred at Hüll in 1978. Perle is the modern German dual-purpose hop — clean enough for lager bittering, characterful enough for late additions. Mint, spicy, and floral. The pragmatic choice for pilsners, helles, and German altbier when you want bitterness with regional voice.
