Product Description
German Hersbrucker Hop Pellet, 1oz
Breeding/Development: Germany. Originating as the landrace variety in the Hersbruck Mountains of Franconia, significant acreage is now under Hersbrucker in Spalt and Hallertau as well.
Brewing Application: Aroma. Hersbrucker is traditional in the lightly-hopped lagers and ales of southern Germany and does excellent work in Munich-style pale and dark lager, Weissbier, Oktoberfest, and Bock. Its mellow spiciness is also at home in many Belgian ales or more hop-forward lagers like Pils.
Sensory: Floral and herbal - similar to Mittelfrüh, but with an added element of fruit and more dominant spice component; in a good crop year, Hersbrucker can be a bit more pungent than Mittelfrüh as well. Look for suggestions of dried green herbs, candied citrus, and tree fruit.
Aroma: Mild to medium, pleasant, floral and slightly spicy
Average Alpha: 2.0 - 5.0%
Typical Beer Styles - Lager, Pilsner, Bock, Weizen, Bock, Wheat, Belgian Ales, Kolsch and Munich Helles.
