As a low-alpha aroma variety (1.5 to 4.0 per cent) with a fine herbal and citrus profile, Hersbrucker Spät represents a growing tradition that reaches back to the Middle Ages. It is officially classified as a noble hop under the EU hop regulation. The name Spät, meaning late, marks the mid to late ripening compared with the Hersbrucker Pure form; the longer time on the bine gives a somewhat fuller oil profile.", "alpha_min": 1.5, "alpha_max": 4, "beta_min": 3.5, "beta_max": 5.5, "cohumulon_min": 20, "cohumulon_max": 28, "gesamtoel_min": 0.5, "gesamtoel_max": 1, "myrcen_min": 20, "myrcen_max": 35, "humulen_min": 25, "humulen_max": 40, "caryophyllen_min": 8, "caryophyllen_max": 14, "farnasen_min": 0, "farnasen_max": 1, "linalool_min": null, "linalool_max": null, "selinen_min": null, "selinen_max": null, "polyphenole_min": null, "polyphenole_max": null, "xanthohumol_min": null, "xanthohumol_max": null, "lagerstabilitaet": "Moderate (low alpha)", "trockenresistenz": "Good", "ernte": "Mid to late ('late')", "anbauland": "Deutschland", "schutzrecht": "Keine (autochthone Landsorte, GI-geschützte Herkunft)", "anbau_extra": [ { "label": "Breeder", "wert": "Indigenous landrace from the Hersbruck hills, Bavaria; no known cross parentage" }, { "label": "Noble status", "wert": "Officially a noble hop under the EU hop regulation" }, { "label": "Variety group", "wert": "Hersbrucker group (Pure and Spät)" } ], "weitere": [], "sensorik": [ { "label": "Herbal", "typ": "kraeuterig", "wert": 82 }, { "label": "Citrus", "typ": "zitrus", "wert": 65 }, { "label": "Spicy", "typ": "wuerzig", "wert": 58 } ], "aroma_gruppen": { "Kräuterig & Noble": "Black tea, marjoram and hay, the classic Bavarian noble profile, more distinctive than Hallertauer Mittelfrüh", "Citrus": "Lemon and orange, lighter than in modern varieties but clearly recognisable, typical of the Hersbrucker line", "Spät-Charakter": "The later ripening allows longer oil development on the bine, giving a somewhat fuller profile than Hersbrucker Pure" }, "sensorik_im_bier": "Hersbrucker Spät delivers the unmistakable Bavarian noble profile: restrained, layered and never obtrusive.
