Strisselspalt hops are French hops. Who knew? After I created a profile for Hersbrucker hops, I learned that an alternative to that variety is the Strisselspalter. It appears to be a good finishing hop. Here’s the details of my research.
Origin: The Alsace region of France
Aroma: Medium intensity, pleasant, hoppy.
Alpha Acid: Between 3 to 5%
Typical Usage: Aroma
Beer Styles: It seems like there was one source that was repeated all over the ‘net…but I would say light colored lagers and ales. How about a Bière de Garde?

Also good for Belgian beers. Often described as having the flavor of currants.
