Perle hops are a well-rounded German variety that has steadily gained recognition since its release in 1978. It offers good bittering properties (5-9% Alpha Acids) that is paired with pleasant aromas of herbs and spices sought after in the German breeds. Perle has a similar oil profile to Hallertau Mittelfrüh with Humulene as the major contributor (sometimes over 50% of total oils). Perle's storage stability is excellent, which makes it highly sought after by professional brewers.Pedigree Bred from Northern BrewerAroma Marjoram, peppermint, lime, and pearAlpha Acids* 4.0 - 9.0 %Beta Acids 2.5 - 4.5 %Cohumulone 29 - 35 % of alpha acidsTotal Oil 0.5 - 1.5 ml/100gMyrcene 20 - 35 % of total oilHumulene 35 - 55 % of total oilCaryophyllene 10 - 20 % of total oilFarnesene < 1 % of total oil All info/images courtesy YVH
