Hallertau has tempered yet spicy aroma and is useful any time during the brewing process but is more favourable for late additions or during dry hopping, it has a very long history in German Lagers and its aromatic and flavour properties help to describe generations of the famous Bavarian beers styles, Hallertau is an aromatic hop with an alpha acid rating at 3.5%-5.5% and is considered a ‘noble hop’ along with Tettnanger, Spalt, and Saaz.
