Tettnanger is one of the original noble German hops from the Tettnang area, but often grown with good results in the USA. Its aroma is very fine, and spicy, but it is a low yielding hop which makes it expensive. Use mostly in European and American lagers for aroma and flavour (occasionally for bittering too).
