The plant shows a lot of more benefits: a lot of small humbels from top to buttom and high resistance against known deseases and pests. This is a big advantage to old varieties!

Crystal hops are an American bred and grown variety that is the daughter of Hallertauer Mittelfrüh. Crystal also has genetics from Cascade and Brewer's Gold, but is used mostly for its noble German character.

The wooden stake is helpful to fix a shearing or wire directly at the hop bine.

The speciality of this variety is it's own character of flavour. Using the actual varieties of the development-program from Hüll brewers have the chance to create their own flavourd beers. Beside 'Opal' even 'Smaragd' and 'Saphir' are developed having this idea in mind.
Trying breweries have shown that these varieties are creating very fine beers, no matter wheather you want to brew a typically Pilsner or Lager or spare-hoped american types or Weißbier. These varieties are developed to complete the offer on varieties.

One more step into this direction is the offer of the brand new so called "special Flavor hops".

'Opal' has very good aromatic ingredients beside a high content of alpha-acid. In cultivation the harvest is high on good grounds. The resitance against Verticillium, Peronospora and powdery meldew is good up to very good. The plant grows up zylindric, the quantity of humbles is high and well-formed! The riping time is middle to early.

Hop shows an enormous capacity in growth and increase in mass from May to early August. In this time, the nutrient requirements are high according to the growth. Fertilization makes sense. Using our hop-fertilizer you have an easy way to feed your hops with everything it needs for healthy development!
