Description

The Columbia hop was developed in the 1960s in Corvallis, Oregon. Its lineage includes a tetraploid Fuggle (USDA 21003) and a Fuggle seedling 2-4. Columbia is also a sister of Willamette. Budweiser originally helped develop this hop, but instead decided to go with Willamette, leaving this available to other brewers. Columbia was returned to production in 2011 after being stopped in the 1980s.

Columbia is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process.

The aroma of the Columbia hop is similar to that of Chinook, but not as strong. It includes crisp pineapple, bright and pungent lemon-citrus notes.
