East
Kent Golding
Gentle, fragrant, and pleasant. Recognized as having the most typical English aroma, with the best flavor historically coming from East Kent. This hop is in demand for copper-hopping and dry hopping of traditional ales. Goldings are also found to be useful for late hopping lagers, when a delicate aroma is required. |

analytical values are typical for each variety at harvest time but
values can vary among crop years, growing areas, growers, and with
aging after harvest. * Alpha Acids are determined by conductometric titration (EBC 7.4) in Europe. Alpha Acids for extracts are determined by HPLC (EBC 7.7 )in Europe. ** Storage is percent transformation after 6 months at room temperature.
