T90 Alora™ Hop Pellets - 5 kg

T90 ALORA™ HOP PELLETS - 5 KG

A new aroma hop variety from the Hopsteiner Breeding Program formerly known as HS17701.

KEY FEATURES:

- Oil content: over 50% of total oils are Selinene – a sesquiterpene rarely found in hops which contributes to its unique composition of aromas and flavors with a citrus character.

- Aroma profile: in addition to the citrus characteristics Alora™ boasts a tantalizing blend of peach, apricot, sweet melon and yuzu fruit. It’s perfect for a wide range of beer styles, from IPAs to light lagers.

- Sustainable: Alora™ was bred for vigorous growth with stacked resistant genes for an extremely low carbon footprint. Compared to an average of 30 commercially grown aroma hops, Alora™ has a 59% lower lb/CO2e emission output.

- Quality: Hopsteiner has invested in state-of-the-art quality control measures to ensure that Alora™ hops, as well as all other Hopsteiner varieties meet the highest standards bale after bale.

THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME:

The name Alora™ is of Latin origin meaning “beautiful dream, dreamlike, or divine light.” As Harriet Tubman said, every great dream begins with a dreamer….or in this case a brewer and we’re sure you’ll craft the beer of your dreams with this out-of-this-world hop.

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.
