German Perle is a mild and bright aroma hop with mint and spice overtones.

Breeding/Development: Germany. Bred at Hüll from English Northern Brewer stock, Perle became extremely popular with German growers and brewers after its release in 1978.

Brewing Application: Aroma, but in an excellent year can have high enough alpha content for use as bittering as well. Its combination of delicacy and brightness go well with the clean flavours of European lagers and cold-fermented ales, as well as the yeast character of many Belgian beers. Some brewers also find nontraditional use for its flavours in blends for pale ale and other hoppy warm-fermented styles.

Sensory: Lively and sweet with harmonized suggestions of fresh mint and spice in the nose. On the palate, Perle shows a complex mix of floral and spice with mild to medium intensity.

Maturity: Middle-late

Yield: 1800 kg/ha
