Goldens
The Golding Hop varieties all are descendants of the acestral Old Golding, which was descenant of the semi-wild Canterbury Whitebine. The Old Golding variety came about much like English Fuggles; an accidental discovery in someone's garden.
East Kent Goldings are most often used as an aroma addition. It was once one of the main variety used in the first IPAs. It does have potential as a bittering hop; especially if seeking to replicate those early India Pale Ales. It also performs admirable in the role of drying hopping, where its subtle but complex characcter can come to full light.
Aroma: Lightly floral with hints of lavender, lemon thyme, and possible apricot. Can be earthy and spicy with a honey sweetness.
