Enhance Your Brews with the Noble Elegance of Saphir Hops

Saphir Hops are a refined noble hop variety, prized for their delicate citrus, floral, and herbal characteristics. With a low alpha acid content, Saphir is known for imparting a smooth bitterness and subtle complexity, making it an excellent choice for traditional lagers, wheat beers, and Belgian-style ales. Their clean and well-rounded aroma profile adds an elegant touch to any brew.

Saphir Hops deliver a balanced and nuanced noble hop character:

  • Spicy: Mild peppery and herbal undertones provide depth.
  • Citrus: Hints of tangerine and lemon zest add a refreshing brightness.
