Alora Hop Pellets
Alora is most notable for its unique oil composition. Unlike most hop varieties that contain what the industry calls the “big 8” oil groups (Pinene, Myrcene, Limonene, Linalool, Caryophyllene, Farnesene, Humulene, and Geraniol), Alora contains over 50% of unidentified total oil that is uncommon in hop chemistry. Further analysis has revealed that a large percentage of this “unidentified” category type is selinene - a sesquiterpene rarely found in hops. This rare chemical characteristic found in Alora contributes to its unique flavor/aroma composition. Selinene is a low volatility compound that contributes distinct citrus character directly into the finished beer and can be found in fruits such as Calamondin oranges and Yuzu.
In addition to Alora's unique oil composition is the elevated amount of thiol precursors, or more specifically, bound 3MH thiols found in Alora. 3MH thiols are desired for their aroma/flavor contributions to finished beer. 3MH thiols are responsible for tropical fruit, passion fruit, and citrusy aroma/flavor.
Flavor and aroma profile: Alora presents a tantalizing blend of peach, apricot, sweet melon, and yuzu fruit. It’s perfect for a wide range of beer styles, from IPAs to light lagers.
