It is reputed that Mr Fuggle of Brenchley in Kent originally selected this variety as a seedling in 1861. Fuggle was the dominant hop variety in England for over 70 years until the development of high-alpha varieties made it less economical for bittering purposes.
The delicate, minty, grassy, slightly floral aroma produces a clean, refreshing, full-bodied flavour present in many traditional ales. Often complimented by an addition of Golding to give the rounded, full-bodied flavour for which English Ales have became world-famous.
Probably the most famous traditional English aroma variety, Fuggles are also grown in Slovenia as Styrian Golding and the USA as Oregon Fuggle. Fuggle is a low to moderate yielding aroma variety that matures early to mid-season. It is grown primarily in Herefordshire and Worcestershire after many of the Kent farms became infected with Verticillium Wilt. Several attempts have been made over the years to breed a wilt-resistant Fuggle but with very little success.
