Hop Growers of America Information
Named after Oregon’s Willamette River, which runs through that state’s hop growing region, Willamette was released in 1976 from the U.S.D.A. breeding program. It is a daughter of the classic English variety, Fuggle, and is characterized by a low alpha content and mild aroma. It imparts a mild, slightly spicy, and pleasant aroma in beer.- Commercial Examples:
