Who uses Mt Hood hops?

Are these a very hot item?

If you're a hophead, take a pass. Mt. Hood is low-alpha with a noble aroma. I've got one in my garden, because most noble hops don't do well around here.

*raises hand and jumps up and down*

I do, I do.

I love Mt Hood honestly. I "typically" only use noble type hops and I am a big fan of Mt Hood. A lot of the time I would say that I prefer it more than Hallertauer. Of course, YMMV.

They are a great replacement for hallertau... I think they have a higher yield when growing them, I have a few planted.

I like them but I interchange them with hallertau, tett and a few others as a clean, low alpha hop.

I have late additioned some English pale ales that turned out nice.

Ok for those that use them links to recipes?

Anything that uses Hallertau.

So these would be good for say Belgian Abby ales and maybe Tripels ETC?

I think that would be an appropriate usage. Fall into some Mt. Hood, Jaybird?

I've used Mt. Hood in maibocks, and it's a great use of them.

lol.
That didn't take long

I used Mt. Hood in my tripel since it's higher %AA than my Hallertau. I like 'em.

I just threw some in my Altbier. Because they are clean, I think they tend to be used in lagers most of the time. Since Alts are also suppose to be clean, I'm trying the mt hood for clean bittering.

Denny Conn's Rye IPA is loaded with Mt. Hood. Damn fine beer.

I am currently working on an IPA recipe with MT hood centennial magnum and dry cascade. I am using the mt hood for the spiciness and noble aromas. I was supposed to brew it last weekend but now it looks like this weekend I will let you know how it goes.

i did a nice, light-ish blonde ale at 1.046 OG with only magnum for bittering and 3/4 oz dry hopped mt. hood, and it is one tasty damn beer. Mt. hood is one of my faves.

I used them a couple of years ago in a light lager - I think I was trying to make a Mexican Cervesa for the summer - and they worked real well. I think I recall using them because Hallertau weren't to be had during "the great hop shortage".
