Saaz is one of the most iconic noble hops, originating from the Czech Republic. Known for its delicate and subtle aroma, Saaz delivers earthy, herbal, and spicy notes that are quintessential for brewing traditional Pilsners and Lagers. With a low alpha acid content (2%–4%), it is primarily used for aroma rather than bitterness.

This hop is integral to styles like Czech Pilsner and Kölsch, where its gentle character adds authenticity and balance. The 1 oz pellet format is great for small–scale brewing or enhancing the complexity of any lager.
