It lands in the same part of the hop bill as Citra and Mosaic, but it gets there by a different road: stone fruit and yuzu instead of grapefruit and pine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur lot measures 8.8% alpha acid. More than half of Alora's oil is selinene, and it carries about five times the bound 3MH thiol of Cascade, which is where its tropical, juicy side comes from. That thiol is released during fermentation, so Alora added in the whirlpool or during active fermentation tends to show more fruit than the raw pellet suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlavor \u0026amp; Aroma Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRipe peach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApricot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYuzu and bright citrus peel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet melon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft tropical fruit from fermentation-released thiols\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA light late addition gives a gentle peach and citrus lift.

A small addition during active fermentation helps release the thiols. At 8.8% alpha it can bitter, but it is too valuable for that; use a clean bittering hop at 60 minutes and save Alora for the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair it with Citra or Mosaic for a bigger tropical profile, or with Lemondrop or Motueka to push the citrus side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlpha Acid: 8.8% (measured on our lot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlavor Notes: Peach, apricot, yuzu, sweet melon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTypical Use: Aroma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon Additions: Whirlpool, dry hop, active fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubstitutes: Citra, Mosaic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeer Styles: New England IPA, hazy pale ale, American IPA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you are building a soft, juicy hazy IPA or adding a stone fruit edge to a pale ale, Alora brings a fresh fruit profile that stands apart from the usual citrus hops.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clawhammer Supply","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":48102977405126,"sku":"alora-1oz","price":2.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 oz","offer_id":48102977437894,"sku":"alora-2oz","price":3.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":48102977470662,"sku":"alora-4oz","price":7.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz","offer_id":48102977503430,"sku":"alora-8oz","price":14.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/6682\/files\/hop-pellets_906a4054-c3f5-449f-b8ac-23365af31da5.png?v=1790792964","url":"https:\/\/www.clawhammersupply.com\/products\/alora","provider":"Clawhammer Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
