Godiva^™ Hops

Godiva^™ stands as a modern triumph of British viticulture, engineered specifically by the Charles Faram Hop Development Programme to challenge the status quo of traditional English growing. Developed as a direct daughter clone of the celebrated Jester^™ variety, this forward-thinking aroma cultivar was selected to provide growers with excellent field yields and robust disease resistance while delivering the bold, punchy, fruit-forward flavors demanded by today's craft beer scene. Godiva^™ represents a major evolutionary leap for UK yards, swapping out the heavy, spice-and-honey characteristics of centuries-old landraces for an intensely vibrant, tropical-leaning profile. Thanks to its clean bittering potential and adaptability, it has quickly cemented its status as a premier selection for both early kettle additions and single-hop showcase beers.

The profile of Godiva^™ delivers a highly expressive, contemporary sensory experience that masterfully balances bright fruit sugars with a crisp, refreshing finish. Its essential oil blueprint is led by an upfront bouquet of sweet tangerine peel, green gooseberry, and succulent white wine grapes. This distinctly bright, vinous core is subtly framed by a faint, underlying whisper of classic English spice, adding sophistication without ever veering into coarse or resinous territory. Because of its rich and unique oil distribution, Godiva^™ brings an elegant, juice-like brightness to contemporary ale and lager profiles, effortlessly boosting aromatic depth and drinkability without overwhelming the palate.
