Hop: Fuggle
Description
Fuggle was a chance seedling from 1861 (named for the Kent grower that introduced the hop) which reached 78% of hop acreage in the United Kingdom in 1949. Fuggle, due to disease issues, has been used to parent many other hops: Cascade, Willamette and Glacier are a few.
Similar to East Kent Golding but with more aroma. Considered to be pleasant and delicate.

Did you know?
- Dwarf variety hops grow shorter in height than traditional varieties but, importantly, produce the same yield. This combination makes harvest easier.
Explanations
- Storage: is based on the percentage of alpha acids remaining after 6 months at 20*F.
- Oil composition percetages are based on the total percentage of oil in the hop. Example: 10 - 20% means that for the specific oil it is 10 - 20% of the overall oil make up.
