Hops exert a powerful attraction on the men and women in brewhouses around the world. No wonder, since it's these aromatic cones that give modern beer its flavor, freshness, and crisp bitterness. While this green gold is only one of four main ingredients, it has the greatest influence on the aroma. Much can be achieved with the malt bill, but it's usually the hops that transform a brew into a truly unique and exquisite experience. Today's brewmasters have an unprecedented variety of hop types with a wide range of flavor profiles to choose from. While some aim to incorporate as many varieties as possible into a single beer, others select a single hop and meticulously refine its characteristics.

The team at the Rothenbach brewery inn opted for the latter option for their Aufsesser hop brew, putting Hersbrucker cone hops in the spotlight. Freshly harvested blossoms, transported directly from the hop vine to the brewhouse and brewed, were used for this fine beverage.

Hersbrucker hops combine zesty citrus fruits with herbal hints and a pronounced menthol note. The Rothenbach brewery blends this expressive bouquet with smooth malt and a pleasing bitterness. Anyone craving a full dose of hops will find Aufsesser hop beer to be the perfect choice!
