Hallertauer Tradition (hop)
From The Oxford Companion to Beer
is an aroma hop variety developed by the Hop Research Institute in Hüll, Germany, and released for commercial cultivation in 1992, primarily as an alternative to Hallertauer Mittelfrueh, with similar aroma characteristics but better disease and pest resistance and a higher yield. It is widely used by German lager brewers for late hopping in the kettle. Tradition was bred from Hallertauer Gold and an undefined German male. It has a medium alpha acid content of 4% to 8% and good essential oil profile, yielding fine floral aromatics.
