Sterling Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Sterling is an American aroma hop developed by the USDA as a domestic alternative to noble European varieties, drawing on Saaz genetics to deliver a clean, refined bitterness and subtle aromatic complexity. It produces mild herbal, floral, and spice notes with a light citrus undertone — familiar and approachable in the best noble hop tradition. Sold as fresh pellets by the ounce, Sterling performs reliably across bittering, flavor, and aroma additions, making it a genuinely versatile hop that suits both early kettle use and late additions alike. It's a dependable choice for Pilsners, Lagers, Kölsch, Wheat Ales, and Belgian-style ales where clean, balanced hop character is the foundation.
