Saaz

Saaz is a traditional hop variety originating from the Czech Republic, commonly used in brewing lagers, especially pilsners. Known for its delicate bitterness and aromatic qualities, Saaz imparts a subtle earthy, herbal, and spicy aroma to beer. Its low bitterness and refined flavor make it ideal for balancing malt sweetness while enhancing the beer's aroma without overpowering other ingredients. Saaz hops are highly valued in brewing for their finesse and contribute to a clean, crisp taste characteristic of many classic European lagers.
