Yakima Valley Hops

Mandarina Bavaria was released by Hop Breeding Institute in Hüll in 2012 as a daughter of Cascade, Hüll Melon and Hallertau Blanc. With a pleasant yet distinctive blend of tangerine, pineapple, strawberry and black currant, Mandarina Bavaria feels right at home in pale ale and IPA hop bills. Its juicy, fruit-forward character also works wonders in saisons, wheats and pilsners alike. A bright, expressive, and unmistakably modern German hop.

Bred in England in 1934, Northern Brewer hops were developed specifically for Scottish & Newcastle Breweries and originally grown in the North of England — hence its name. Now found in the U.K. and U.S., but primarily grown in the German Hallertau region, Northern Brewer is a dual-purpose hop that has developed strong aroma qualities through adaptation to local climate and soil. Northern Brewer delivers clean, classic bittering with a cool edge and nearly a century of brewing tradition.

Released in 1978 as a descendant of Northern Brewer, Perle is a well-rounded German variety with dual-purpose utility, delivering moderate alpha (5-9%) paired with a pleasant blend of herbs, spice and green fruit. These characteristics make it a popular choice for dry hopping in Kölsch, pilsners and ales. Well established on hop farms in Germany, Perle also thrives in U.S. growing regions thanks to its high yields and strong disease resistance. Perle has a similar oil profile to Hallertau Mittelfrüh with especially high humulene (35-55% of total oils). Balanced flavor, excellent storage stability, and reliable agronomics — hallmarks of a German classic.

These German-grown Saazer hops are a genetic descendant of the famous landrace variety of the same name. The growing region in Germany is very similar to the Saaz growing region in Czechia, making them a compatible substitute to the noble Czech Saaz. The German Saazer is said to be less spicy and more floral than the Czech Saaz. Perfect for traditional pilsners, lagers, and ales.

Released in 2002 by the Hüll Hop Research Center, Saphir is a low-alpha (2-4.5%), noble-like variety with an edge of spice and fruit. More pronounced than its fellow German varieties, Saphir has a complex blend of juniper, lemongrass, bergamot, strawberry and black tea. These characteristics shine in dry-hopping traditional German lagers, pilsners, Kölsch, hefeweizens, and Belgian-style ales.

Developed by the Hüll Hop Research Center, Tango is a German variety that’s been growing in the Hallertau fields since 2020. Bred for both brewing excellence and environmental resilience, Tango offers strong climate tolerance alongside excellent disease and pest resistance. With high oil content and pleasant bitterness, Tango delivers a broad aroma spectrum of fresh citrus, green fruit, and a classic hop character while later additions bring out notes of passionfruit. A forward-looking hop for a changing climate, designed for brewers and growers alike.
