An American aroma hop with an alpha acid percentage ranging from 3-5%. Designed as a substitute for Hallertau Mittelfruh, Liberty makes an excellent domestic stand-in for European noble hops in German pils, Bavarian-style lagers, Kolsch, Hefeweizen, Biere de Garde, and Belgian ales. Mild and refined, Liberty's aroma is spicy, sweet, grassy and haylike. Similar varieties include Mount Hood, Hallertau, and Crystal.
