Introduced to the market in the 1970s, Hersbrucker’s resistance to various diseases has allowed it to gain ground over the years. This is precisely why it was developed: to resist verticillium wilt and gradually replace the susceptible Mittelfrüh variety.
With low alpha and cohumulone content, it develops pleasant, well-balanced aromas of fruit, spice, and flowers. It has been very commonly used in German lagers.
