Derived from the classic Czecholslovakian  Saazer hop with noble aromas.  Has a low bittering value like most noble hops.  Saaz is often listed in classic European beer recipes and adds a distinct peppery flavor, due to the high level of farnesene.  It is used in Bohemian and fine Pilsner beers by many brewers.   It is considered to be one of the finer noble hops in the world.
