Saaz T90 Hop Pellets Czech Noble Hops

Saaz is one of the world's classic noble hops, originating from the Žatec region of the Czech Republic. Famous for its use in traditional Czech Pilsners, Saaz delivers a delicate blend of herbal, floral and gentle spicy notes with a soft, refined bitterness.

A favourite among lager brewers, Saaz is ideal for Czech Pilsners, German lagers, Kölsch and Belgian ales. Its subtle character complements the malt without overpowering the beer.

Use Saaz throughout the boil for traditional Czech-style hopping, or add it late to preserve its distinctive herbal and spicy aroma.
