Santiam Hops

Posted by John in Hops

Here’s a profile for another new variety of hops: Santiam Hops.

Santiam is the world’s first naturally seedless Tettnang-type hop. It’s a hybrid of German Tettnanger, Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, and an American hop (Some sources say Cascade).

Origin: America - It was released by the Agricultural Research Service in Corvallis, OR. I am guessing the year was 1998.

Aroma: Resembles a Noble hop aroma. Herbal. Floral.

Alpha Acid: 5.5 - 7%

Typical Usage: For Aroma. Great replacement for German Tettnager hops.

Beer Styles: American Lagers, German Lagers and Ales, and Wheat beers.
