Spalter Select is commonly known as just "Select". It was bred at Hull Hop Research Centre and is a cross of Spalt and Hallertau Mittelfruh resulting in the development of a variety with a fine aroma and high farnasene content which are typical of Spalt-type hops.
Spalter Select retains some of the finer characteristics of its parentage varieties and is considered a slightly spicier version of Spalt resulting in brewery giant Anheuser-Busch replacing both Tettnang and Spalt in their range. It is ideal for Lagers, Pilsners, and other German-Style beers.
Spalter Select is typically only used as a late boil, whirlpool or dry hop addition.

"Great in Kolsch"
"great selection of hops, well packaged in convenient quantaties"
"After extensive trial, I have decided this ancient hop has the best flavour profile for light European lagers. The herbal flavour has a background of cigar box aroma which I associate with high-quality beer. I use the hop, particularly with larger yeast fermentation."
