Alora™ Hops: Profile & Substitutions

Description

Alora™, formerly known as HS19901 and bred by Hopsteiner, has a very unique oil composition. Alroa contains over 50% of hop oil composition of unknown type. Typically hops are made up of Pinene, Mycrene, Limonene, Linalool, Caryophyllene, Farnesene, Humulene, and Geraniol. Selinene, a sesquiterpene rarely found in hops, makes up a the unknown oil. Selinene is important since it imparts citrus characteristics into the finished beer: Calamondin Oranges and Yuzu Fruit.

The makeup of Alora is friendly to the environment as the genetic makeup was chosen from hops that are disease.

The name Alora™ is of Latin origin meaning "beautiful dream, dreamlike, or divine light."

Did you know?
  • Dwarf variety hops grow shorter in height than traditional varieties but, importantly, produce the same yield. This combination makes harvest easier.
Explanations
  • Storage: is based on the percentage of alpha acids remaining after 6 months at 20*F.
  • Oil composition percetages are based on the total percentage of oil in the hop. Example: 10 - 20% means that for the specific oil it is 10 - 20% of the overall oil make up.
