Profile
Originating from a breeding program in Corvallis, Oregon, in 1983, Ultra hops were introduced to the market in 1995 by the USDA. This hop variety is a triploid seedling of the renowned Hallertau Mittelfrüh and is closely related to other popular hops such as Mt. Hood, Liberty, and Crystal. With its lineage rooted in traditional German varieties, Ultra hops can be used in similar brewing applications, offering a mild and pleasant Saaz-like aroma. This aroma profile is characterized by floral and spicy notes, making it a versatile choice for a range of beer styles, including Ales, Lagers, Pilsners, Oktoberfests, and Bocks.
