The name roughly translates to “bouquet quality,” and it has long been considered one of France’s finest aroma hops. It shares some heritage and character with German noble hops like Hersbrucker, delivering a gentle, elegant profile rather than intensity. Brewers value it for its soft floral, herbal, and lightly spicy notes with subtle citrus (think lemon, bergamot, and lemongrass). It’s a classic choice for continental lagers, pilsners, wheat beers, and French or Belgian styles where subtlety matters more than punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlpha Acids:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.8 - 2.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e .6 - .8 mL\/100g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pellet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Substitutions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hersbrucker, Crystal, Mount Hood (in some recipes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yakimavalleyhops.com\/products\/strissel-spalt-hop-pellets?srsltid=AfmBOorh5Rad4O4F_iNEoIUMIRR_tmus8kt1s2xJxL2W_cNRG9s_KZVU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMore tech specs here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eStrisselspalt is used almost exclusively for aroma. It shines in late boil, whirlpool, and dry hopping, where it contributes a soft floral-herbal character without dominating the beer. Because the alpha and oil content are low, it stays delicate even at higher rates. Most brewers find 1–3 oz total in 5 gallons works well for a noticeable but refined hop presence. Going much heavier usually just softens the overall profile rather than creating intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrew day tip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eIt pairs especially well with other noble or continental hops (Hallertau, Saaz, Spalt) when you want a clean, traditional aroma. It also works nicely in Belgian-inspired beers or light lagers where you want hop character that stays in the background and lets malt or yeast shine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42881729822805,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/0089\/1733\/files\/strisselspalt-hops-french-kitchen.jpg?v=1787014564","url":"https:\/\/doubledank.beer\/products\/strisselspalt","provider":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
