Fuggle
Earthy, woody — the soul of English bitter.
Description
Selected in Kent in 1875 by Richard Fuggle. The defining aroma hop of English ales — earthy, woody, mildly minty. Use throughout the boil in bitters, milds, porters, and brown ales. Pairs especially well with Maris Otter and English ale yeasts.
Selected from a chance seedling in Horsmonden, Kent in 1875.
