Spalter Select

Aroma Hop

Spalter Select 78/003/034 was bred at Hüll from Spalt- and Hallertau-related material as a disease-tolerant noble-style variety. Spalter Select is primarily valued as an aroma hop, with late and finishing additions preserving its most distinctive character.

Variety Details

Spalter Select offers soft spice and herbs with citrus, woody, earthy and green-grassy notes. Low alpha acids favor late-kettle and finishing use, though traditional all-kettle hopping produces gentle bitterness. It is a classic fit for pilsner, Helles, Kölsch, Altbier, wheat beer and other Continental styles.

Beers and Pellets were evaluated using our Sensory Plus™ Trained Panel. Beers were dry hopped in a standard 2-Row Pale Ale at 2lb/barrel for 72 hours.
