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 Liberty, Crystal, and Ultra.
Mount Hood has a mild and clean aroma and flavour, excellent for finishing European lagers.
