GR Hersbrucker

Hop Description

A delicate stunner from the Hallertau region of southern Germany, this noble variety with moderate yields is often grown in place of the famous Hallertauer Mittelfrüh thanks to increased disease resistance. Spicy, floral notes reign, while hay, tobacco, and citrus may also shine through.
