HALLERTAU MITTELFRÜH HOP PELLETS (GERMAN) - 1 LB

Flavor & Aroma:  sweet, earthy, and herbal with vivid impressions of new-mowed hay, sweet spices, dried flowers, and warm forest aromas (dry wood, humus).

Hallertau Hop Pellets are a classic German aroma hop that is often associated with Bavarian-style lager beers. It is distinguished by an intense, pleasantly-harmonic bitterness. Although it can be and is used throughout the boil, it is most prized for its fine, elegant aroma and flavor contribution. German Hallertau (Mittelfruh) has been one of Europe's most widely esteemed varieties for centuries and is practically synonymous with continental lagers (particularly Bavarian styles) and many types of German and Belgian ales. A mixture of sweet, earthy, and herbal with vivid impressions of new-mowed hay, sweet spices, dried flowers, and warm forest aromas (dry wood, humus). Its many offshoots and daughters show some of these same qualities, but none has the same range and balance as Mittelfruh.
