Fuggles Pellet Hops – Traditional English Aroma
Fuggles hops are one of the most classic and widely used hop varieties in traditional English brewing. Originally from the UK, this variety is now grown worldwide. These pellet hops are perfect for delivering earthy aromas with hints of grass, wood, and mint, making them ideal for English and Belgian-style ales.
With a low alpha acid content (3–7%), Fuggles is primarily used as an aroma hop, but it can also provide a soft, smooth bitterness. It pairs well with styles like English Ale, Bitter, Red Ale, traditional IPA, and Belgian Ale.
Fuggles is also a great companion or substitute for similar hop varieties like Golding and Willamette, making it a versatile ingredient for homebrewers and professional brewers seeking authenticity and balance.
