About
Strisselspalt hails from the Alsace region of France around Strasbourg and is likely related to German Spalt and/or Hersbrucker hops. Thought to be an old land race, its acreage is dwindling due to its inherent low yield but it survives largely on the back of a strong domestic demand for the variety.
Origin
Originally from Alsace in France, near Strasbourg, Strisselspalt most likely has a parentage and relation to Herbrucker or German Spalt.
