Brewer notes

Ella (aka Stella) is a Australian hop variety. Expect grapefruit, tropical, apricot, floral, and lemon character from late additions or dry hopping. Flexible enough for both bittering and later flavour/aroma additions; it is commonly associated with lagers and pilsners. The catalogue alpha-acid default is 15%; always use the value printed on the current packet or lot for bitterness calculations.
