Willamette Hops - U.S. Grown T-90 Pellets

Elevate Your Brews with Classic and Floral Willamette Hops

Willamette Hops, a cornerstone of American craft brewing, are known for their mild, floral, and earthy aroma with subtle spice and fruit notes. Originally developed as a descendant of Fuggle hops, Willamette is a go-to variety for balanced and nuanced beer styles, making it an excellent choice for English ales, porters, stouts, and even lagers. With its smooth bitterness and refined aroma, Willamette is perfect for brewers seeking to add a layered complexity without overwhelming the malt backbone.
