Loral® Brand

HBC 291 | Alpha Acids: 10-13%

Released by the Hop Breeding Company in 2016, Loral® Brand HBC 291 is a refined and versatile hop that beautifully bridges old and new-world aromatics. With a noble heritage, it complements a wide range of beer styles, offering an elegant and balanced sensory profile. Loral is distinguished by its pronounced floral character, with delicate, perfumed nuances alongside bright notes of lemon and orange. Its high linalool content enhances expressive citrus qualities, while subtle herbal and tropical undertones add depth and complexity. The result is a sophisticated, multidimensional hop prized for its versatility and finesse in a hop profile.
