This is a new aroma hop variety with a soft and pleasant herbal aroma that is very reminiscent of the traditional Saaz, but with a higher and more stable yield.
Saaz Shine is characterized by its mild bitterness with a nice and balanced character, which makes it particularly suitable for lighter lagers and other bottom-fermented beer styles. Thanks to its elegant aroma profile and smooth expression, it is a popular choice for beers with a traditional lager character.
