Ella™
Australian Flavour More subtle in character, Ella™ (previously known as Stella) packs less of an upfront punch than her big sister Galaxy™, but is no less of a star. For exact alpha acid please contact customer service. Cultivar Number 01-220-060
The changing faces of Ella™ make her an intriguing hop to experiment with. In lower doses, Ella™ can display floral and subtle spice notes, such as star anise, which is best appreciated in lagers or pilsners. With larger additions or when dry hopping, Ella™ imparts distinct tropical flavours which can be used to offset robust malt and yeast characters in many styles.
Brew Tips A high level of essential oil presents many options to brewers, who will be rewarded with enticing flavour combinations when varying doses are added to the mix.
Ella’s™ story is similar to half-sister Galaxy™; however this time the male parent hop was derived from Spalt. Born in Victoria in 2001, her star quality was notable even as a seedling, so her brewing assessment was accelerated and she was unveiled to brewers for trials in 2007. Her early appearances revealed strong floral, noble hop character complemented with a delicious spicy finish. Making a great first impression, brewers couldn’t get enough of Ella™ and she was fast-tracked into commercial production.
