Sounds interesting... up to twice the oil content of regular Czech Saaz.

It's a Russian hop. 5-8% a-acid. Looks interesting, if I come across some I'd like to try it in a pils. Easy way to get to the heart of the matter.

I'm brewing this up next, if only because I live in Kazakhstan, and a popular guy's name is Kazbek!
