HOPS ELLA HOP PELLETS

Ella Hop Pallets.

Previously named Stella, Ella hops are the little sister of the Australian superstar Galaxy. Ella and Galaxy share the same mother, but Ella's father is a variety from Spalt, Germany.

Due to its high level of oils, Ella can significantly change character depending on how it is utilized. When used in low quantities, it displays a spicy, floral character like star anise. When used in greater quantities or in dry hopping, it holds its own with any robust malt and conveys a decided tropical and grapefruit flavour.

This parentage gives Ella a pleasant floral aroma that is backed by soft spice. These qualities work best in lagers and pilsners, but Ella can be incorporated into Pale Ales and IPA during dry-hopping. This will preserve some of the lighter oils that are more fruity and tropical like in Galaxy™.
