Hersbrucker Spät hop is the result of decades of tradition and dedication to the craft of brewing. As one of Germany’s finest aroma hop varieties, it stands for elegance and depth of flavor. Its signature aroma profile—featuring ginger, marjoram, lemon balm, black tea, and a fresh citrus note—lends beers a complex and nuanced hop character with both herbal and floral undertones.
This hop is particularly well-suited for classic styles such as Helles, Pilsner, Landbier, or refined ales where hop aroma should be subtle and balanced. Especially in late additions or for aroma applications, Hersbrucker Spät excels with its delicate bitterness and harmonious complexity.
Processed as Type 90 pellets, it ensures efficient usage and easy dosing—making it the perfect choice for brewers seeking traditional hop character. Let the variety and elegance of Hersbrucker Spät inspire you to enrich your beers with a touch of tradition and finesse.
