NB vs Perele

[scooterism]

Which is the more neutral bittering hop?

And which would you say is the most friendly toward a Euro Pilsner/lager?

Cheers

Assuming you mean Northern Brewer vs Perle?

I'd say NB

Haven't used Perle but German NB is a very neutral bittering hop.

Pretty sure Perle is actually a dual-purpose hop, not just bittering. If you want neutral bittering you won't get it with Perle.

Perle has hardcore fanboiz in the States. Search on Perle in the US forums. There are a lot of uses for it.

NB it is.

Thank-you Sirs.

Perle can have a minty taste to it, northern brewer is deffinately the more neutral but I rate Magnum as probably the most neutral bittering hop I've ever used!
