About
A very popular variety with fine aroma and average bitter content. Because of its high susceptibility to wilt this variety suffered from a dramatic decrease in cultivation. Due to increasing demand and availability of virus-free plant material, Hallertauer Mittelfrueh has experienced a comeback. Used for Wheats, Altbiers, Pilsners, Belgian Ales, American and German Lagers.
Origin
Grown in Hallertau, Spalt, Hersbruck, Tettnang and Baden-Bitburg-Rheinpfalz areas of Germany. 'Hallertauer Mittelfrüher' is the traditional Hallertau variety although its acreage is gradually decreasing due to disease.
