Willamette Hops

USA

Aroma HOP

Selection:

Willamette is an aroma hop variety with a low alpha acid content at 4.0%-6.0%. Although Willamette can contribute slightly to the bittering of a homebrew or craft beer, Willamette dominates its usage for its flavor and aroma and is noted for its mild and pleasant, with slightly spicy and floral tones.

Brewing:

Typical Beer Styles: Used in both American and English-style ales.

Breeding:

Willamette Hops are the most widely grown aroma hop in the US; released from the USDA breeding program in 1976. They are named after the mighty river that pours through the Willamette Valley in North Western Oregon. Willamette Hops are a triploid seedling of Fuggle, which is a quintessential English variety that has shaped decades of beer brewing.

Hops are sold in 100g vacuum sealed bags with specific batch details printed on label. Larger volumes are generally available with a discount for larger volume packs.
