Saaz Hops

Czech Saaz Hop Profile

Saaz is the famous aroma landrace variety originating in the Czech area of the same name. Considered the world-standard of fine noble hops, Saaz boasts pleasant notes of bergamot, honey, cedarwood and chamomile — flavors that find a good home in lagers and pilsner styles. Saaz is also a breeding powerhouse with many strains and descendants, a renowned flavor that remains influential across the globe. A quintessential hop that has defined the beloved Czech-style pilsner. 

Tariffs are now applied to all European hops imported into the U.S. for 2025 crop only. You will see a separate line item in your cart and at checkout reflecting the 12.5% tariff. If you have any questions, please reach out.

Current Alpha Acid for 2023 Czech Saaz is 1.7%. This is on the low end of historical averages due to the increasing climate pressures in the growing region. If you are looking for a higher alpha acid, then please check out US Saaz or Sterling.
