Godiva Hops - U.K. Grown T-90 Pellets
Godiva Hops for Tangerine, Gooseberry, and Bright Modern U.K. Aroma
Godiva is a U.K. grown hop offered here in T-90 pellets for brewers who want a modern British variety with fresh citrus and fruit character. Developed through the Charles Faram Hop Development Programme, Godiva is known for expressive tangerine, gooseberry, and white grape notes, with a light spice element that helps round out the profile. Lot-specific flavor and aroma notes may include Gooseberries, Spicy.
That combination makes Godiva a useful choice for brewers who want contemporary hop aroma without abandoning British growing heritage. It can add bright top notes to hop-forward beers while still feeling more polished and nuanced than a generic citrus variety.
Flavor and Brewing Character
Godiva is most often associated with tangerine and citrus, supported by gooseberry, white grape, and subtle spice. It shines in late-boil additions, whirlpool use, and dry hopping where its brighter aroma compounds can stay forward in the finished beer.
It works especially well in pale ale, IPA, session ale, and Belgian-style ale, where its fruit character can add freshness and complexity without overwhelming the rest of the recipe.
Why Brewers Choose Godiva
Brewers choose Godiva when they want a British-grown aroma hop with lively citrus-fruit expression and a more modern edge. It is a strong option for recipes that need brightness, layered aroma, and a hop profile that feels current without becoming generic.
