Due to its high level of oils, Ella can significantly change character depending on how it is utilized. When used in low quantities, it displays a spicy, floral character like star anise. When used in greater quantities or in dry hopping, it holds its own with any robust malt and conveys a decided tropical and grapefruit flavour.
This parentage gives Ella a pleasant floral aroma that is backed by soft spice. These qualities work best in lagers and pilsners, but Ella can be incorporated into Pale Ales and IPA during dry-hopping. This will preserve some of the lighter oils that are more fruity and tropical like in Galaxy™.

"Ella"
"Tasted these hops at my friend's house It was delicious. Thinking to try it at my brewery."
"Only used for dry hopping in an experimental mead, can out pleasantly fruity with a tangible sweetness in an otherwise dry beverage, if left for too long, it leaves an undesirable spicy note in the background"
