A classic British hop, Goldings have a background as East Kent Golding but are grown in Hereford and Worcester. They are complementary to Fuggles, providing floral and citrus overtones; an excellent selection for bitter, pale ale, ESB, blond, tripel, saison and kölsch-style beers.
Aroma: Specific aroma descriptors include fragrant, floral, zesty lemon, orange and grapefruit.
