Which style explicitly uses Saazer-type hops among its typical hop varieties?

• A. Oud Bruin
• B. Saison
• C. Witbier
• D. Trappist Single

Answer: (B)

Saazer-type hops are a classic noble hop with a delicate, earthy-spicy aroma and low bitterness. The style that explicitly uses these hops as a typical part of its hop lineup is Saison. This Belgian farmhouse beer traditionally relies on gentle, aromatic hops to support a yeast-driven, spicy, fruity profile without overwhelming it, and Saaz fits that purpose well. Oud Bruin tends to emphasize malt complexity and souring rather than a defined hop character, Witbier highlights spice additions like coriander and citrus with only a light hop presence, and a Trappist Single focuses more on yeast-driven flavour with modest, not distinctive hop identity.
