Description
Beers: Imparting a wonderful, dry and tart flavor, Crystal hops provide spicy character blonde ales, adding, in proportionate quantities, a delicate counterpoint to pale or pilsner malt background. Crystal is perfect for summer thirst quenchers such as lagers with a fair amount of corn or rice in the malt bill. In American Brown ale, the hop variety, while used judiciously in dry hopping, will contribute a slight pungent quality to the finished beer. For wheat beer, Crystal hops give the beer the requisite mild balance between hop, malt and wheat.
