Not to be confused with Hallertaur -----
Hallertau Blanc Hops are a modern German varietal bred for distinctive white wine-like aromatics. Developed by the Hop Research Center Hüll and released in 2012, Hallertau Blanc is one of several contemporary "flavor hops" from Germany that offer new-world intensity with old-world pedigree. Home brewers appreciate Hallertau Blanc's fruit character without overwhelming bitterness.
Expect notes of gooseberry, Sauvignon Blanc grape, lemongrass, passionfruit, and grapefruit when used late in the boil or for dry hopping. Hallertau Blanc’s aroma profile is especially prized in Hazy IPAs, Blonde Ales, hop-forward Pilsners, and Wheat Beers. While not a direct substitute, it's often compared to Nelson Sauvin due to the shared white wine character.
