Mount Hood hops are a versatile and aromatic hop variety known for their mild bitterness and pleasant aroma. Developed in Oregon in 1983, they were bred from the German Hallertau hop, making them ideal for brewers seeking a refined, European-style profile.
Mount Hood hops offer a delicate balance of floral, herbal, and spicy notes. Their aroma is often described as clean and slightly sweet, with hints of basil and coriander. Because of their subtle character, they are frequently used in lagers, pilsners, and wheat beers. Brewers appreciate their ability to enhance a beer’s complexity without overpowering it.
Thanks to their low alpha acid content, Mount Hood hops are best used for aroma and flavor additions rather than bittering. They perform well in late boil additions and dry hopping. Transitioning from traditional European hops to Mount Hood can help brewers maintain authenticity while supporting local agriculture.
Mount Hood hops are prized for their consistency and adaptability. They grow well in the Pacific Northwest and are resistant to many common hop diseases. This reliability makes them a favorite among craft brewers and commercial producers alike. Moreover, their smooth bitterness and balanced aroma contribute to a well-rounded beer experience.
