just a quick question, my recipe calls for Perle hops.

LHBS has only Hallertauer Perle in stock.

Is it the same, or is it another variety?

thank you!

and from BeerAdvocate Hop Guide:

Perle is an aroma-type cultivar, bred in 1978 in Germany from Northern Brewer. It is grown in Germany, Belgium and the U. S. A.
Perle is a newer variety, originally from Germany but now grown quite successfully in the US. Perle is a medium alpha hop with a very clean, almost minty bitterness and pleasant aroma. (alpha acid: 7.0-9.5% / beta acid: 4.0-5.0%)

Probably as long as the Alpha percentage is the same they should be ok to use. Otherwise adjust your recipe.

It's Perle. The other word (not always used) in German hop names indicates the name of the region where the hop was grown.
