Hop extracts

Herkules hop extract (ethanol) is the concentrated essence of one of Germany’s most powerful and widely used bittering hops. As a high-alpha variety, Herkules delivers strong alpha acid content and a reliable bitterness – ideal for brewers who value efficient bittering and consistent quality. Since its introduction in 2006, Herkules has become the most widely cultivated hop variety in Germany – with nearly one in four hectares of hop fields planted with this robust hop. But Herkules is more than just bitter: its aromatic spectrum includes fruity notes of honeydew melon, lemon balm, and orange, rounded out by peppery spice and citrus freshness. As an ethanol-based extract, this hop is particularly suitable for professional brewing. It offers maximum dosing accuracy, extended shelf life, and consistent flavor impact – ideal for bittering lagers, bocks, IPAs, and more.
