Loral Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Loral is an American hop variety developed by the Hop Breeding Company and released in 2016. It has earned a reputation among craft brewers as a uniquely versatile hop that delivers noble-like character with higher alpha acid content.

Brewers often describe Loral hops as producing layered notes of floral, citrus, peppery spice, and dark fruit with subtle herbal undertones. This complex profile works in both modern hop-forward styles and traditional European-inspired beers.

Loral performs well across all brewing applications, from early boil bittering to whirlpool hopping and dry hopping. Its combination of noble-like refinement and moderate intensity makes it a rare hop that bridges traditional and modern brewing.

Loral hops are versatile across both modern and traditional beer styles where balanced hop character is desired.

Ideal for:

• American IPA
• Pale Ale
• Lager
• Amber Ale
• Single Hop IPA

Loral pairs well with hops such as Centennial, Amarillo, and Mosaic to create balanced hop profiles with floral and fruit complexity.

• Add early in the boil for smooth balanced bittering
• Use late boil additions to enhance floral and citrus hop flavor
• Add during whirlpool or hop stand to maximize dark fruit and pepper aroma
• Dry hop to develop layered floral and fruit aromatics
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve freshness and hop oils

Loral works well as both a single hop and blended with Centennial, Amarillo, and Mosaic for versatile hop profiles across IPA, pale ale, and lager styles.
