Next-generation German hops for 21st century craft beer:
highly aromatic, tropical, floral, and fruity.
Origin:
Germany. A daughter of Cascade released in 2012 and bred specifically to answer
the needs of American craft beer styles.
Usage: Aroma, particularly
whirlpool and dry hopping to take full advantage of the very high myrcene
fraction. With its pronounced tropical profile, Hallertau Blanc has strong
affinity for many of the same styles as southern hemisphere hops: IPA, Belgian
ales, wheat beer, and Brett fermentations.
Aroma & Flavor Characteristics:
Moderate to strong featuring pineapple, gooseberry, white grape, fresh
lemongrass stalk, and passionfruit. Reminiscent of many recent Southern
Hemisphere varieties, but with a cleaner, less “dank” profile.
