US Saaz Hops
U.S. Saaz Hops Saaz: Osvald-72 c.v. Hop Profile Saaz hops are the famous landrace variety from the Czechia region, but this is specifically US Saaz, grown by our friends at Virgil Gamache Farms in Toppenish, WA. US Saaz carries some of the same floral and spicy elements as Czech Saaz, but this American-grown lot presents with brighter citrus and a hint of cherry. US Saaz hops work well in classic European styles and lagers, but also fits perfectly in new twists on those styles. Aroma: Classic noble aromas. Floral, citrus, and spice. Typical Analytical Range Alpha: 3.0-5.0% Beta: 4.0-6.0% Total Oil: 0.3-1.0 ml/100g US SAAZ HOP SUBSTITUTIONS US Saaz is the obvious choice to replace the scarce Czech grown Saaz. US Saaz hops carry similar characteristics and flavor profiles as East Kent Golding, US Golding, and Hallertau Mittlefrüh making these hops an excellent substitution in your next light lager.
