Description
Hallertau Tradition T90 Hop Pellets are a German aroma hop known for their delicate herbal, floral and grassy character. Bred as an alternative to Hallertau Mittelfrüh, Tradition combines classic German hop character with excellent versatility in both lager and ale styles.
Its balanced aroma and moderate alpha acid level allow Hallertau Tradition to work well for both flavour and aroma additions. It can also provide smooth bitterness when used earlier in the boil.
Aroma & Flavour
Hallertau Tradition can contribute:
- Herbal
- Floral
- Grassy
- Gentle spice
- Woody notes
- Classic German hop character
Its delicate profile works particularly well in beers where the hops should complement rather than overpower the malt and yeast character.
Brewing with Hallertau Tradition Hops
Hallertau Tradition is a versatile aroma hop that can be used throughout the brewing process.
Late-boil and whirlpool additions help highlight its herbal, floral and grassy qualities. Earlier additions can provide clean, restrained bitterness, while dry hopping can add further traditional German hop aroma.
