GR Saphir CY25 from Spalter Hopfen is the modern German aroma hop that bridges noble tradition and contemporary taste. It brings classic refinement with a distinct tangerine-citrus lift and remarkably soft bitterness, a strong fit for helles, German pilsner, wheat beer, and Kölsch.

Expect tangerine, gentle florals, and fine noble spice. Saphir shines in late and whirlpool additions where its citrus edge stays fresh, and very low cohumulone keeps bitterness silky even at higher rates. It is the gateway German hop for modern palates, noble enough for a traditional lager and bright enough to interest an ale drinker.

This hop is available in professional brewing formats, including 11 lb foils and 44 lb boxes. Choose the 11 lb foil for trials, seasonal releases, smaller production runs, or flexible inventory planning. Choose the 44 lb box when this hop is part of a recurring production program and you want better purchasing efficiency.

Hop analysis values may vary by crop year and lot. For exact alpha acid, beta acid, total oil, lot number, and other technical values, confirm the active lot through the COA or product documents before final recipe calculations.
