Ive been brewing alot of czech style lagers of late, and been using alot of sterling as a saaz sub. (I live in the pacific nw, it just feels wrong to import hops from the czech republic, when so many hops grow in a 100 miles of my house) Sterling is mostly Ok, but in large quantities it tends to give, while not unpleasant, a distinct pineapple taste; which can be a little out of place.
Does anyone know of any other domestic subs for saaz? Im not seeing any with my searching.
