Enhance Traditional Ales with the Distinctive Character of Whitbread Golding Hops

Classic British Aroma Hop Offering Floral, Herbal, and Fruity Notes

Whitbread Golding Variety (WGV), developed in 1911 by Edward Albert White and released commercially in 1953, is a distinguished English hop known for its robust flavor and aromatic profile. Despite its name, WGV is not a true Golding but offers a unique blend of floral, herbal, and fruity characteristics, making it a versatile choice for traditional British ales.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Whitbread Golding Hops provide a complex and nuanced aroma experience:

  • Floral: Prominent notes reminiscent of English gardens.
  • Herbal: Subtle herbal undertones adding depth.
  • Fruity: Hints of apricot, guava, and honeydew melon.
  • Spicy: Delicate spicy notes with a touch of licorice and bergamot.

Brewing Applications

Utilize Whitbread Golding for both aroma and flavor enhancements:

  • Aroma & Flavor Additions: Ideal for late boil, whirlpool, and dry hopping to impart its distinctive character.
  • Blending: Pairs well with varieties like Fuggle and East Kent Golding for traditional English profiles.
