Perle is German in origin. Bred there from Northern Brewer and 63/5/27M in 1978, Perle has its parent's minty, pine character as well as the spicy, earthy notes found in other noble hop varieties.

A dual-purpose hop, Perle falls in the high-middle alpha acid range. Though originating in Germany, Perle is now also grown in the United States and Belgium.

The alpha acid content of hops will vary from batch to batch and may vary from the amount shown in the picture.
