Summer Saaz is one of the newer Australian varieties. Sometimes it is assumed it is a Saaz copy that will provide the same qualities as the Czech Saaz. This is a misunderstanding. Yes it does have some of the same qualities but it is a different hop with different flavours. It provides a nice smooth bitterness if you choose to use it that way, but with its low Alpha I wouldn't. There are better bittering hops out there. The flavour is similar to the Czech Saaz but it is different. There is more fruit and less spice in the taste. I really enjoy it. For those that love Saaz this would be a good hop to try something a little different. It will provide a hint of spice like the Czech Saaz but add a different dimension with some fruit flavours coming through. The flavour is quite subtle, as is the aroma. I think it would work well as a blend with Saaz in any Czech Pils.
