Hallertauer Blanc

Hallertau Blanc is a special aroma variety from the Huell breeding programme.

Hallertau Blanc is a special aroma variety from the Huell breeding programme that was bred and launched on the market as part of the craft beer wave. With good resistance to diseases and all the advantages for sustainable hop growing, Hallertau Blanc is popular with farmers and brewers alike. Intense fruity and citrus-like flavours are embedded in a dry, wine-like overall character. Depending on the type of beer, the amount of hops used and when they are added, Hallertau Blanc is dominated by flavours such as passion fruit, mango and grapefruit.
