Hop Profile:
Perle
A dual-purpose hop, Perle falls in the high-middle alpha acid range. Perle is resistant to many of the diseases that plague German hops, making it one of the most widely used hop varieties in commercial beers in Germany. Though originating in Germany, Perle is now also grown in the United States and Belgium.

ORIGIN
Perle was first developed in 1978 at the Hüll Hop Research Institute in Germany, a cross between a Northern Brewer parent and 63/5/27M. It came to be grown in the United States not long after, and is also now grown in Belgium. -
CHARACTERISTICS
Though typically a low-yield hop, Perle is resistant to German wilt and downy mildew, which makes it one of the most widely used hops to come from Germany. While Perle plays well with other hop varieties as a bittering agent, it is also a great stand alone hop when used in light lagers or American wheats. -
