Perle Hops is also grown in the United States, in Oregon and Washington, but originated in Germany. The Perle hops variety has a healthy bitterness with an alpha acid rating of 5.9%-9.5%. Perle is a fairly high alpha variety for the region. Perle has a spicy character, and the aroma is moderate and pleasing in beer. Perle is compared to Hallertauer Mittelfrüher.

The cohumulone content is low like most of the hops varieties from the region. The German Perle hops variety is on the low side as far as yield when compared to varieties around the globe, however its disease tolerance and demand will keep it at the forefront for a long time to come. The small to medium size cones are ready mid to late season after a moderately vigorous growing cycle. Perle GR Hops are a premium choice for brewing German style beer such as Pilsners, Lagers, Alts, Dunkles and more....
