Born as a triploid daughter of Fuggle in 1976, Willamette carries similar low alpha acid (4-6%) and mild aromas of cedar, pepper and incense. Until the expansion of aroma varieties in the U.S., Willamette was historically one of the most prevalent hops grown, nearly accounting for 20% of the crop at its peak. It's named for the Willamette River, a river that flows through Oregon's hop growing region. Well-suited for adding aromatic depth to darker, cold-weather styles.
