Released in 1976 from the USDA breeding program, Willamette is a triploid seedling of English Fuggle. For years, it was the most widely grown aroma variety in the US. It is named after Oregon’s Willamette River which runs through the heart of the state’s hop growing region. Willamette is an aroma hop primarily and most successfully produced in Oregon due to its growth characteristics. Its English-type aroma is often described as pleasant with a hint of spice and a smooth, soft flavor.
