Premiant - is characteristic by a higher alpha content and yield potential. Premiant was registered in 1996. The current acreage is around 200 ha with a production of 400 - 500 t. This variety was a part of a long trial. Premiant in its group mostly pushed out other varieties (Perle) and it is used in Czech breweries for the second hop addition. 50 % of its origin is Saaz fine aroma hops and has a low cohumulone content. It has positive effect on fine beer bitterness. According to our experience some breweries prefer to use Sladek and some Premiant - each variety has a unique character. Premiant has a neutral bitterness.
