Description
Perle hop pellets 5 kg – German hop for lager, Kölsch and wheat beer
Perle hop pellets in a 5 kg pack. The pack suits breweries and others brewing large volumes.
Please note: This product is only available in Norway.
Perle is a German hop with balanced bitterness and a complex aroma combining spicy, herbal and lightly fruity notes. It works as both a bittering and an aroma hop, and is used in everything from pilsner and lager to wheat beer and ales. Perle gives the beer a rounded hop profile and pairs well with Hallertau Mittelfrüh, Tettnanger and Saaz.
German Perle was released in 1978 and was bred from a Northern Brewer female and a German male. A US Perle appeared in the 1980s, but it has completely different characteristics.
