This German cross breed of Hallertau Mittelfruh and Spault was released from the Hull Hop Institute in 1991. Known sometimes as German Select, Select Spalt, Spalt Select, or just Select, its hops have low acidic levels and an incredibly fragrant floral and fruity aroma that perfectly compliments all types of Lagers.
The alpha acid range of just 3% to 6.5% keeps bittering light and minimal so you can really taste the traditional German flavors imparted on your brew. Other regional varietals like Saaz and Tettnanger make reasonable substitutions for Select hops.
