Bred by the Hops Brewing Company in 2016, Loral derives from Tardif de Bourgogne and Glacier, as well as the male parent of Nugget (which are all fitting substitutes for Loral). The Loral hop has been described as a “super noble hop”, as it combines the floral, herbal characteristics of noble hops like Hallertauer Mittelfrüh and Tettnang, with the fruity flavors of popular American hop varieties like Mosaic and Citra hops. Loral hops are dual-purpose and extremely versatile, used in the UK for a range of beers including pale ales, IPAs, porters, stouts, pilsners, blondes and even sours.

Analyses
Typical Aroma Profile
Loral® (HBC 291 c.v.) is a cultivar that shows more traditional yet unique hop character with notes of herbal, floral, spicy that one would expect from a noble hop variety.
*Alpha acids are determined by conductometric titration (EBC 7.4) in Europe, by spectrophotometry (ASBC Hops-6) in the USA. Oil composition is determined by gas chromatography (ASBC Hops-17, EBC 7.12).
All values represent the medium range of the last 4 years. Be aware that specifically the alpha and oil values can vary in a broad range depending on the relevant crop year.
