Oil breakdown
Description
Michigan-grown Saaz from the Great Lakes farms, sometimes sold as Saaz Super. Cooler nights keep it closer to the Czech landrace than Yakima lots do — still herbal and spicy, usually a little more alpha. Published oil breakdowns are thin, so the chemistry here is class-typical; trust the bag analysis for bittering.
