Mt. Hood Hop Pellets (US)

Mt. Hood Hops

Mt. Hood is an aroma variety released in 1989 from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) breeding program in Oregon. The variety is a triploid daughter of Hallertauer Mittelfrüh and a sister to Liberty. Like its siblings Crystal and Liberty, Mt. Hood carries the refined noble character of its Hallertauer Mittelfrüh parentage — delivering a clean, spicy, and herbal aroma that makes it an excellent domestic substitute for classic German noble hops.
