About

Developed at the Agriculture Research Service in Corvallis, Oregon, Santiam hails from parent varietals Swiss Tettnanger, German Hallertauer Mittelfrüher and a slightly more distant Cascade (US)-derived cultivar. It was released to the brewing public in 1997 and features a well-balanced oil profile.

Origin

A new aroma cultivar with a good yield, it was released by USDA in 1998. It is a triploid hop resulting from a cross between the German Tettnanger and a selected triploid male with a Hallertauer MF.
