See what brewers are saying about Elani hops:

“Elani has been such a versatile hop for us. It shines very well by itself and plays extremely well with others. With big citrus notes and nice tropical undertones, I think you can expect to see Elani becoming a staple in many future recipes!” - Geoff Belcher, Head Brewer for New Realm Brewing’s Charleston location

The crew over at Brülosophy brewed up a single hopped pale ale with Elani to better understand what it lends to a beer. Read the full Elani sensory article here.
