Beverage
Tettnang
S tier
Tettnang is a German noble hop from the Tettnang region near Lake Constance—spicy, floral, and slightly citrus-tinged with soft bitterness. It sits beside Hallertau and Saaz in the noble quartet. Fine for traditional European pale beers and some ales seeking restraint. Late kettle additions showcase perfume; early additions give polite bitterness. A connoisseur choice for classical recipes. Protect from oxygen like all nobles.
