They were originally bred as a replacement for hallertauer Mittlefruh in Germany, they are similar to the other German Hallertuer family, and work well in this role IME.Long story short I ended up with a few oz. of Tradition. The Alpha is 5.3. Don't know much else about them. What can I use them for? What hop are they close too?

from byoHallertauer Tradition (German) 3.5-5.5% Crystal, Liberty Known for its aromatic properties. A replacement for Hallertauer Mittelfrüh.
from nthomebreweralso Mtnbrewer says:Similar to Hallertau Mittelfruh but crisper, "greener" character. Intense fresh hop aroma great for German pilsners. Beers made with this hop won alot of awards when it was last available a few years ago
hope that helps!If I can't find noble German hops, I have no problem using Hall. Tradition. I think it's a great hop and just a notch or two below the nobles. I've used them mostly in lagers but also a few ales (altbier and weizenbock). I'd recommend them.

wow, not even in the same sport let alone ballpark, I hope that's just an oversight not a SOP.Alright thanks for all the info. I'm a little confused now because these were giving to me(from Altbev) in place of Cascade. Just confirms the incompetence of the owner a little further.
