Saaz (T90 Pellet) is the world's most famous noble hop, a Czech aroma landrace variety from the Saaz (Zhátec) region. Very mild with a distinctive, pleasant, and refined hoppy spiciness — the definitive hop of Bohemian pilsner and Czech lager styles. Saaz is recommended for late boil additions to preserve its delicate aromatic qualities.
