Hersbrucker Hops...commercial Examples?

[bignath]

Hi brewers,
have recently bought some Hersbrucker from a posting on this forum and was wondering, before i go all out using them blindly, what commercial examples are famous for this hop.

Anyone got any ideas? Have a Dan Murphy's just down the street from me.....

Cheers,

Nath

I bunged a heap of hersbrucker in a pils a while ago.... wasnt really flash IMO. Its not a bad hop, but dont over do it.

And Pure Blond too...

Nonethless hersbrucker is a realy nice basically noble hop, floral and a bit fruity with a bit of spice. Anywhere you would use hallertau, hersbrucker will be nice and really quite similar to the hallertau.

I think its especially nice in lagers with a bit of colour to them. Viennas and Marzens.

One of My go to hops of choice for lagerbier.

Blue Tongue Lager is a nice example IMO.

thanks guys,

just did some searching in google "what beers use hersbrucker" and the first thing it listed was the bluetongue lager, which i really like.

Anyone got an all grain recipe for it?

apparently, there is a large portion of cane sugar, so if i can work that part out, maybe Pils Malt, POR to bitter to megaswill levels, Hersbrucker late, and 34/70?

cheers for your responses and if anyone has a recipe for bluetongue it would be great....

EDIT: "beaten by this much...."

QUOTE
Bluetongue Premium Lager is made with 20 percent cane sugar, bittered with Pride of Ringwood hops and late-hopped with Hersbrucker. Its not a big, complex, malty palate, Peachey says. We want ours to be drinkable with a medium bitterness, in the style of an Australian premium lager like Cascade or Hahn.

Heineken is a Hersbrucker beer I am pretty sure - assuming the Aussie brewed version is the same

Cascade Premium Lager & Premium Light both bittered with POR and finished with Hersbrucker.

Just used the same combo in an Aussie Lite Lager, shall see what results.

It is a delicate hop, so don't overdo it.

Cheers
