Have been know to use Sterling here in the US as a Saaz substitute. Recently purchased a lot of Czech hops though, Premiant, Sladek, Kazbek, Agnus and Bohemie. Brewed a Czech Pils with the Agnus (10.1% AA) and dry hopped with Kazbek. It's freaking delicious and has that spicy/herbal flavors you would expect from Saaz.
