East Kent Golding Hop Pellets (UK)

East Kent Golding Hops

East Kent Golding was developed from a wild Canterbury Whitebine variety in the late 1700s. Kent is a region in England, home to Canterbury, where this variety was brought to market in 1790. Recognized as having the most typical English aroma with the best flavor, historically coming from East Kent, EKG remains the definitive English aroma hop — prized for its soft, refined character in traditional British ales and as a finishing hop in any style calling for classic Old World elegance.
