General Info
Imperial SMaSH Pilsner brewed with Chris Egolf for RHBC's 2024 Buddy Brew.
About the hops… previously named Stella, Ella is the little sister of the Australian superstar Galaxy. Ella and Galaxy share the same mother, but Ella's father is a variety from Spalt, Germany. 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.
