Aroma & Flavor Notes (best for card callouts):
- Clean (very neutral, low cohumulone for smooth bitterness)
- Floral (delicate, soft, background)
- Herbal (mild, grassy, hints of sage or tea)
- Citrus (subtle zest, lemon, mild bitterness)
- Spicy (gentle, not intense—classic “noble” touch)
Brewing Characteristics:
- Famed for supremely smooth, clean, and neutral bitterness; rarely interferes with malt or aroma hops
- Can contribute subtle floral/herbal/citrus undertones if used late, but primarily chosen for its clean bitter backbone
- Perfect for lagers, pilsners, stouts, IPAs, and basically any beer where you want bitterness without additional flavor
Best Beer Styles:
- Pilsner, Lager, Kölsch, Blonde
- IPA, Imperial IPA, Pale Ale
- Stout, Porter, Dark Ale
Substitutes:
- German Magnum (nearly identical)
- Horizon, Columbus (more punch, less clean)
- Nugget (earthier, rougher)
