Ella Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Ella is an Australian hop variety developed by Hop Products Australia, descended from the German noble hop Spalt. It combines refined European aroma qualities with the unique terroir of Australian hop cultivation.

Brewers often describe Ella hops as producing subtle floral, spice, and anise notes with grapefruit and light tropical undertones. This delicate but expressive profile makes it an interesting choice for lager brewers seeking aromatic complexity and for pale ale brewers wanting a refined hop character.

Ella performs especially well in late boil additions and whirlpool hopping where its subtle aromatics and spice character can fully develop alongside its firm bitterness.

Ella hops are well suited for beer styles where refined hop aroma and balanced bitterness create clean, aromatic beers.

Ideal for:

• Lager
• Australian Pale Ale
• Hoppy Pilsner
• Pale Ale
• Summer Ale

Ella pairs well with other Australian and noble hops such as Galaxy, Eclipse, and Spalt when building refined hop profiles with floral and spice complexity.

• Add early in the boil for firm bittering
• Use late boil additions to enhance floral and spice hop flavor
• Add during whirlpool or hop stand to develop anise and grapefruit aroma
• Dry hop for subtle aromatic complexity
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve freshness and hop oils

Ella combines refined European character with Australian terroir and works well with Galaxy and Eclipse for nuanced hop-forward lagers and pale ales.
