Kazbek

Kazbek is a Czech grown aroma hop that has an alpha acid range of 4-8% and a beta acid range of 4-6%. It was bred from Saaz (CZ) and a wild Russian landrace hop from the Caucasus.

The aromas come across as dominant bright citrus notes of lemon or grapefruit but those never obsucre the quintessential mixture of floral and earthy spice of its Saaz (CZ) parent. The spicy lemon aroma can be dominated by grapefruit, lemon and lime with undertones of sweet fruits like pineapple, passionfruit, peach and watermelon. There are also some top notes of honey and cream/caramel and it can also have nuances of raspberry, orange, ginger, elderberry and chocolate with light notes of lemon balm.

Kazbek is a good choice for your Lagers, Pale Ales, Wheat Beers and Belgian Ales.

It could possibly be substituted with Saaz (CZ).
