About
A traditional indigenous variety from the Saaz group which is mainly cultivated around Tettnang on Lake Constance. The unique combination of the favorable climate at Lake constance and sandy clay soils from the Ice Age produces a very fine aroma. This variety has a good tolerance to plant diseases. Widely used in Lager styles, particularly modern Helles and Light lagers and well suited to Wit and Weisse style wheat beers, Saison's and light, spicy cask Ales. May be an interesting addition to Old Ale or Barley Wine or spiced Stouts.
