Description

Hersbrucker is an old-world German land variety that originally horned in on the popularity of Hallertau Mittlefruh. It is named after the growing region it was cultivated in and has a distinguished noble aroma. Hersbrucker historically has a low Alpha Acid, ranging from 1.5-4%, which makes it perfect for traditional lagers and pilsners. Because of its low Alpha Acid and Co-humulone content it works well whether it is lighter or aggressively hopped lending an easy bitterness with much flavor.

Aroma: Refreshing Noble Character lead by its Floral Accent and light Citrus notes.
