Faram Fuggle

Use in brewing

Aroma hop.

The delicate minty, grassy, slightly floral aroma produces a clean, refreshing, full-bodied flavour present in many traditional ales. Before the advent of dual-purpose and high-alpha hops, Fuggle was used as the main copper hop and often complimented by an addition of Golding to give a rounded, full-bodied flavour for which English Ales became famous.
