T90 DOLCITA™ BRAND HOP PELLETS - 5 KG
Dolcita™ Brand c.v. is a new experimental hop variety developed by the Hop Breeding Company (HBC), originating from a 2016 cross between two experimental varieties. It is a high-yielding cultivar with an early harvest window.
Aromatically, Dolcita™ Brand offers a potent yet pleasant mix of citrus, tropical, and berry fruits. It presents notes of coconut, melon, ripe peaches, strawberries, blackberries, and a hint of blueberry, with undertones reminiscent of tropical candy, caramelized pineapple, and tangerine. Some describe it as evocative of dark rum and daiquiris, with a subtle earthy base that balances the fruitiness.
It is particularly suitable for Saisons, Farmhouse Ales, Fruit Beers, and is also an excellent choice to add a unique twist to IPAs and Pale Ales.
WHAT ARE HOP PELLETS?
To obtain hop pellets, dried cones are milled and compressed until the typical cylindrical shape is obtained. 90 kg of pellets are obtained from 100 kg of hop cones, hence the name T90. Weight loss is caused by a small reduction in moisture content and plant matter. This solution offers some advantages compared to cones, including greater aroma extraction efficiency, lower wort losses, compactness and greater stability during storage.
