Description

Everything you'd expect from Saaz with an added Citrus Kick. This plant was carefully selected from the GLH trials program and has become a preferred replacement for regular Saazer in many commercial yards. Superior growth and brewing characteristics make this version of Saaz the best choice.

Saazer-
A classic Czech hop with noble aroma. Has a low bittering value like most noble hops. Saaz is often listed in classic European beer recipes and adds a distinct peppery flavor. It is used in Bohemian and fine Pilsner beers by many brewers.  It is considered to be one of the finer noble hops in the world...

Product Description

​​Each item is one complete dormant crown, or a field-ready plant, depending on time of year: a plant that is a minimum of 1 growing season old with a well developed root system with multiple breaks taken from healthy vigorous stock.  It is professional quality and since it is a live rooted plant, it offers the best chance of successfully growing and producing your favorite varieties of hops.

​
  • Alpha acids: 3-5%
  • Aroma: unique blend of earth and spice, peppery
  • Yield: low, typically less than 1000 lbs/acre; unless grown high density population
  • Storage stability: low, should refrigerate.  Over -mature cones will shatter. 
  • Maturity: Early
  • Grower notes: quickest hop to break dormancy; thus susceptible to freeze back and loss of crown buds- needs protective mulching.  Smaller crowns with lower vigor.  Seems to grow better in areas with more moderate winters. Responds to additional bone-meal and a balanced calcium/phosphate ratio.  A candidate for short trellis and/or high density hop yards.  Shows resistance to mildews.  Does not tolerate wet, soggy soil conditions. Raised row required.  Saaz combines very well with Crystal and Magnum. Takes two years to establish.
