'Mt. Hood' Hops
FamilyCannabaceae
Humulus lupulus 'Mt. Hood' is an aromatic hop variety renowned for its delicate cones with floral and slightly spicy notes, highly prized in craft brewing. This vigorous variety develops long, climbing stems capable of quickly covering pergolas, trellises, or fences, while offering dense and decorative deciduous green foliage. Female plants produce pale green cones rich in lupulin in summer, primarily used for lager, pilsner, and light ale type beers. Suitable for both edible gardens and brewing projects, 'Mt. Hood' combines interesting yield with a refined aromatic profile. Well-adapted to Quebec's climate, this hop thrives in sunny exposure, rich and well-drained soil, and regular watering during the growing season. It makes an excellent choice for combining useful production with lush vertical landscaping.
