$4.00


Approachable and balanced… The “Super Noble” variety changing the brewing world.  Loral blurs the lines between old-world nobility and new-world aromatics,.  HBC 291 Loral may be one of the most versatile hop varieties available.  These are cryo hops – half the vegetative material has been removed leaving more Lupulin – a much cleaner and easier to use hop pellet.   Loral is known for wonderful floral and herbal notes followed by a backdrop of citrus and earthy character.


This is a one ounce factory foil pack of Loral Aroma hop pellets from YCH, the co-op formed by the merger of Yakima Chief and Hop Union.  The co-op is grower owned.  These hops come in a nitrogen flushed light and oxygen barrier foil pack so that they will remain useable for a long time.  We sell enough of these so that they will be consistently fresh for you.

Description

Loral™, formerly known as HBC 291, provides a more traditional yet unique hop character, providing the floral and herbal notes one would expect from a fine noble aroma hop. Its mother is the U.S. developed aroma variety Glacier; the grandmother being the long-established European noble aroma variety known as Tardif de Bourgogne originating in the Bourgogne region of Eastern France. The father is a son of the U.S. developed Nugget variety. Loral™ is characterized by having numerous small, dense cones with moderate alpha acids. The variety is expected to be commercialized in 2016.

LupuLN2™ is the concentrated lupulin of whole-leaf hops containing resins and aromatic oils. It is designed to provide intense hop flavor and aroma, enabling brewers to dose large quantities of hops without introducing astringent flavors or vegetative cone material. LupuLN2 offers twice the resin content of traditional whole-leaf and hop pellet products, and should be dosed at approximately half the amount by weight. During early R&D trials, brewers reported that LupuLN2 noticeably enhances hop aroma and flavor contributions, specifically citing ‘juicy’ and ‘resinous’ characteristics. It is ideal for use in the whirlpool or fermenter for imparting intense hop flavor and aroma with minimal vegetal flavor and improved yield.  Brewers also reported an average three to five percent increase in brewery yields due to reduced brewhouse and cellar trub.

AROMA PROFILE: The aroma profile of Loral has been described as a “super noble hop” with its wonderful floral and herbal notes followed by a backdrop of citrus and earthy character. A touch of sweet fruity aroma rounds out this well-balanced hop. In beer, the floral notes are accentuated yet complemented nicely by fruity and citrus with just a hint of herbal. Don’t expect an in-your-face fruity character with Loral™ as seen with some recent U.S. variety releases – this hop is approachable and balanced. Great for distinctive IPAs and pale ales but absolutely perfect for sessionable and lager-style beers.
