Description
Tillicum is the daughter of Galena (USDA 21182) x and Chelan USDA 21055 – USDA 63015M. The seedling selection was from a cross made in 1986, and it was selected for production in 1988. Released in 1995.
Tillicum is a bittering hop that is commonly used only to bitter the beer during brewing, and not for too much flavor and aromas.
Tillicum is a high alpha variety with a very high content of beta acids. The variety was developed through the John I. Haas, Inc. breeding program and released in 1995. It is a daughter of Galena and a full sister to Chelan and therefore has analytical data similar to both varieties.
