The highly valued Strisselspalt is one of the best-known hop varieties of Alsace and comes from the region of Strasbourg. Its name is derived from the words Strissel and Spalt. Strissel means bouquet, while Spalt is an old term denoting quality. Strisselspalt is known for its fine hop aroma.

Typical Aroma Profile
The predominant aromas in the hops are citrus, bergamot, grapefruit and orange, with a tendency towards flavour notes ranging from cream-caramel to spicy. In the cold infusion, red berries, such as cassis, play a key part, but elements of camomile blossom and tea are also pleasantly noticeable.
*Alpha acids are determined by conductometric titration (EBC 7.4) in Europe, by spectrophotometry (ASBC Hops-6) in the USA. Oil composition is determined by gas chromatography (ASBC Hops-17, EBC 7.12).
All values represent the medium range of the last 4 years. Be aware that specifically the alpha and oil values can vary in a broad range depending on the relevant crop year.
