Description

Sterling's pedigree includes Saaz, Cascade, Brewers Gold, Early Green and other European varieties. It was developed in 1998 as a replacement for Saaz with a higher alpha value and improved disease resistance and good stroge quality.

'Sterling' is used for both: bittering and flavouring hops. Although 'Sterling' is mainly used for its delightful, pleasant flavours, 'Sterling's alpha acidity can also make an important contribution in the brew kettle. It is a good choice for hop-emphasised lagers, Belgian ales and other continental styles.

Aroma and flavour characteristics:
Moderate and pleasantly "hoppy" flavour. Excellent herbal quality, reminiscent of Saaz, with nuances of candied citrus, sweet grass, light spices and dried hay.

Ripening time: Early

Alpha acidity: 6.0 - 9.0 %
Beta acidity: 4.0 - 6.0 %
Co-humulone as % of alpha acids: 22 - 28
Total oils: 1.3 - 1.9 ml / 100 gr.

'Alberich'

The variety 'Alberich' is characterized by its tamed growth. It is a socalled "dwarf-variety". But dwarf is not compareable to very smal plants by hop. Dwarf means the growth is much slower compared to other hops. Normally hops grows to ~8m high as a solitaire. 'Alberich' only reaches a hight of ~4m. Because of that 'Alberich' is ideal for smaller places like private gardens. Cultivation in containers also is possible.
