A Noble hop, Saaz originates in Czechia and has developed over many years in the Zatec area.Classically applied as an aroma hop in European lager beer, Saaz has found a home in a wide variety of beer styles.Saaz hops are a low yielding variety, a lot of work has been carried out over the years in an attempt to improve the yield. This has been achieved through clone selection as it was feared that hybridisation would result in a loss of the traditional aroma characteristics. Until recently all research was aimed at improving the hops this way, however some hybridisation has occurred in recent years to improve the susceptibility to Downy Mildew, Powdery Mildew and Verticillium Wilt.
