The Willamette cultivar is an aroma variety that was developed in Oregon in the early 1970s. It is a triploid seedling of Fuggle.

Willamette imparts a herbal complexity to beer with a background of hedgerow fruits, excellent in Amber ales and Bitters.

Willamette is a moderate yielding aroma variety that matures early to mid-season. Most of the U.S. acreage is in Oregon and Washington. It is somewhat tolerant to downy mildew and has shown good resistance to Prunus necrotic ring-spot virus.

We weigh all hops only when there is an order for them none have been sitting of shelves, they are taken out from a bulk vacuum sealed bag in cold storage at the time we complete your order. Our hop pellets are packaged inside UV protected polyethylene bags and vacuum sealed.

Sometimes the vacuum seal can degrade especially if hop dust settles alongside where the bag is heat sealed. If you receive the hops and it appears that the vacuum is breaking down, the hops will still be perfectly safe to use with no degradation of flavour.If you do not intend to use then in a few days of receiving, we suggest that you store them in a fridge or freezer. Hop pellets stored near-freezing, preferably between -1C and 5C. Under these conditions, T-90 hop pellets will remain stable in closed containers for three (3) years.
