Alpha Acids
Different hop varieties contain varying amounts of alpha acids—even the same hop variety may exhibit different levels. This also depends on factors such as growing conditions and harvesting time. The AA% can vary between 1% up to 20% in hops. Therefore, brewers maintain the consistency of their beer's flavor profile by accurately measuring and controlling the AA content.

Spalt Select is one of the four classic German noble hop varieties, cultivated for centuries in the Spalt region of Bavaria. It is one of the oldest named hop varieties in the world and remains essential to traditional German brewing.

Brewers often describe Spalt hops as producing refined earthy spice, herbal character, and mild floral notes with a smooth, clean bitterness. This elegant hop profile makes it ideal for lagers and traditional ales where hop aroma should complement malt character with subtle complexity.

Spalt Select performs especially well in late boil additions and whirlpool hopping where its noble hop aromatics can add refined character to clean, well-balanced beers.

Spalt Select hops are used in traditional German and European brewing where classic noble hop character and smooth bitterness are desired.
