The Willamette cultivar is an aroma variety that was developed in Oregon in the early 1970s. It is a triploid seedling of the Fuggles hop. Willamette is generally perceived as a good quality aroma hop giving an estery, blackcurrant, herbal aroma that is very pleasant but can be quite strong. Some brewers have found it to be a suitable replacement for Fuggles whilst others have had poor results when using it this way but have found that it stands up admirably as an aroma variety on its own merits.
