Bred in 1983, Liberty is an extension of the Hallertau hop family. It is a half-sister to Ultra, Mt. Hood and Crystal. It is a triploid seedling of the German Hallertau variety.
Liberty is a bittering hop that is commonly used only to bitter the beer during brewing, and not for too much flavor and aromas.
