Willamette

Aroma Hop

Willamette 6761-117 was developed by the USDA from English Fuggle breeding material and released in 1976 as a foundational U.S. aroma hop. Willamette is primarily valued as an aroma hop, with late and finishing additions preserving its most distinctive character.

Variety Details

Willamette offers woody, earthy and herbal character with spice, flowers and a gentle fruit note. Low alpha acids make it primarily a late-kettle and finishing hop, though it can provide soft traditional bitterness. It is a natural fit for English and American ales, porter, stout, brown ale, amber ale and restrained lager.

Beers and Pellets were evaluated using our Sensory Plus™ Trained Panel. Beers were dry hopped in a standard 2-Row Pale Ale at 2lb/barrel for 72 hours.
