Ella Hops - Australian Grown T-90 Pellets

Ella Hops for Floral Spice, Grapefruit, and Australian Fruit Character

Ella hops are Australian-grown T-90 pellets for brewers who want a hop that can bridge classic floral-spice character and modern fruit expression. Originally released as Stella, Ella is known for floral notes, soft spice, grapefruit, and tropical fruit character that changes with timing, dose, and beer style.

Use Ella when a recipe needs more nuance than a simple citrus or tropical hop. It can bring polished floral and spicy structure to lighter beers, or add Australian fruit character to IPA, pale ale, saison, pilsner, lager, and other aroma-focused styles.

Flavor and brewing use

• Primary notes: floral, spice, grapefruit, soft tropical fruit, and subtle noble-like character.
• Best use: late kettle additions, whirlpool additions, aroma additions, and restrained dry hopping.
• Recipe fit: IPA, pale ale, pilsner, saison, lager, blonde ale, and Australian hop blends.
• Process note: use current package alpha acid for IBU calculations; crop values vary by lot.

Recipe planning notes

Ella works well when it is allowed to show both sides of its profile: floral-spice structure and a modern fruit edge. Pair it with citrus or tropical hops when you want brighter fruit, or use it with restrained lager and saison hopping when the goal is a more refined aromatic lift.
