Lorien Hops

Lórien® Hop Profile

Lórien® is a new variety from Indie Hops, released in 2021. A cross between Sterling and a German male, Lórien was bred to challenge lager hop norms, leaning less on traditional noble flavor and more on fruity, floral character. Channeling “a feeling of a summer meadow,” Lórien delivers citrus zest, fresh melon, sweet hay and wildflower aroma. This low alpha variety is designed to complement rather than overpower, making it a natural fit for a wide range of malt and hop bills — especially in lagers, pilsners, low-ABV ales and other crushable beers. A New World meadow in every pour.
