Loral is a relatively new hop that boasts flavors and aromas of both Old World noble characters and New World fruitiness.
Loral has an interesting mix of the pleasant floral, herbal, and peppery noble character along with notes of lemon-citrus and dark fruit.
The floral, fruity, citrus, character tends to be more prominent in a beer made with this hop, while the qualities of earthy and herbal notes stay more subdued.
