Product Description
German Northern Brewer Hop Pellet, 1oz
German Norther Brewer is an offspring of Brewer’s Gold with some ancestry from an American wild hop, this English-bred high alpha variety later found favor and acreage all over the world. In Germany it’s known primarily as a bittering hop.
Used as a dual purpose hop, German-grown Northern Brewer has a more “noble” and less pungent profile than when grown elsewhere. Grown outside of Germany, it suited to a variety of traditional European styles where a strong or “American” hop signature may not be appropriate - German lagers, Belgian and Trappist ales, farmhouse-style beers.
Predominantly spicy with an undercurrent of woods and wild fruit, suggestive of its Brewer’s Gold parentage. Overall balanced with lasting flavor that reads as simply “hoppy” - not as outright woodsy and bright as US-grown Northern Brewer.
