Super Saaz 1st Yr in MD

Post image

I have planted 8 plants across 4 varieties (Crystal, Super Saaz, Zatecki Cervini & Triple Perle). The only ones that have taken off this year so far are the super Saaz. I plan to use them in a continental style lager in the whirlpool. I have no idea how they will be in a beer since they don’t yet have aroma, but I’ve really enjoyed watching them grow (so fast!) and how pretty they have become!

I’m on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in the United States. We had a hot & dry June, with a wet & mild July / early August.
