This article discusses a specific variety of hops. For general information about selecting, using or propogating hops, see the main hop page
A triploid released in 1983 as part of a program attempting to develop an American substitute for Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, Mount Hood was derived from a tetraploid Hallertauer and an unnamed aroma variety. Sister hops from the same program include Mount Hood, Crystal, and Ultra.
Mount Hood has a unique slightly spicy character and, unlike its half-sisters, is considered a true noble hop by some. Excellent in German lagers.
