Germany / Pellet Hops / 3.4%
Description
aka Hersbrucker-G, Hersbrucker Late, Hersbrucker Spaet, Hersbrucker Spät. German hop Hersbrucker was originally bred with the intention of producing a variety resistant to verticillium wilt that could act as a replacement for Hallertau Mittelfrüh. Hersbrucker reached the height of its popularity in the 1970’s and 1980’s. With low alpha acids and low cohumulone, it exhibits a pleasant aroma with a balanced, fruity, spicy and floral character. It has commonly been used in German lagers, however this variety is now making its way into some fine English cask ales. It has been cloned several times in an attempt to improve its alpha acid content, but without success.
