Crystal Pellet Hops

Crystal is a classic American aroma hop developed from the Hallertau Mittelfruh variety. It is cherished for its delicate, mild, and pleasant profile, offering subtle notes of spice, floral, and woody undertones. Because of its gentle character, it is a versatile choice for styles where a restrained hop presence is desired, including Lagers, Pilsners, Kölsch, and various Belgian-style ales. Crystal works beautifully as a late-kettle addition or whirlpool addition to provide a nuanced aromatic depth without overpowering the malt backbone.
