East Kent Goldings was developed from the Canterbury Whitebine variety in the late 1700's. It is grown exclusively in East Kent by a handful of growers. Synonymous with English Goldings, East Kent Goldings is a quintessentially British Hop and is a delicious example of the gentle aromas that traditional English Hops produce. It has an amazing aroma profile with lavender, spice, honey and notes of thyme. Flavor-wise it is earthy and mildly bittering with a sweet, silky, honey-like character. East Kent Golding is considered to be the quintessential English hop, long held as one of the island’s favorites for ales and pale ales.
