4.0-5.0% AA. Grows well in all climates. Mt. Hood is a hybrid of a Hallertau variety. Mt. Hood is an aromatic hop with low acid levels which make it very useful for mid boil hop additions. Expect an aroma of European style spice, herbs, and a pungent, resinous flavor. A great choice for a variety of lagers and ales. Rhizomes should be planted immediately for best results. If your area is still experiencing frost then you can plant them in a planter indoors until it is safe to transplant outside. The first years crop will generally be smaller than subsequent years. Since these are live plants, we cannot guarantee they will grow, so we recommend buying two of each type to help insure their success. Since the rhizomes are presale items, we ask that you do not place other items on your rhizome presale order. Any additional items placed on rhizome presale orders will be split into their own order, and subject to additional shipping fees.
