Loral T-90 (Aroma) 28g

Loral®, formerly known as HBC 291, offers a more traditional yet unique hop profile, delivering the floral and herbaceous aromas one would expect from a premium, noble aroma hop. Its mother is Glacier, a fragrant variety developed in the United States; its grandmother is a long-standing European noble fragrant variety called Tardif de Bourgogne, native to the Burgundy region in eastern France. The sire is a Nugget breed bred in the United States. Loral® is characterized by a large number of small, dense cones and contains moderate amounts of alpha acids.

Aroma profile

The aroma profile of Loral® has been described as "super noble hops," with wonderful floral and herbaceous notes, along with citrus and earthy undertones. A hint of sweet fruity aroma rounds out this well-balanced hoppy hop. In the beer, floral aromas are emphasized but complemented by fruity and citrus notes and a hint of herbaceousness. Don’t expect Loral® to have an impressive fruity character like some of the recently released American varieties – this hop is approachable and balanced. Great with unique IPAs and pale ales, but also great with drinkable lagers and lagers.
