Our 2025 harvest UK Golding whole leaf hops bring the traditional earthy, herbal and lightly spicy character associated with English ales, making them a natural choice for bitters, pale ales, porters and stouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUK Golding is related to the better-known East Kent Goldings, but isn't the same hop. Goldings is a broader group of closely related English varieties, with East Kent Goldings referring specifically to Goldings grown in East Kent. In the finished beer, UK Golding brings a soft, earthy and herbal character with gentle spice, making it particularly useful when you want traditional English hop flavour without pushing too far into the more distinctive character of a specific regional Golding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolding works particularly well with other traditional British hops. Pair it with Fuggle for a classic English combination, or use it alongside Challenger to add a softer, herbal dimension to a traditional bitter or pale ale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHop Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United Kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole Leaf Hops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlpha Acid:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.81%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthy, herbal and lightly spicy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTypical Styles:\u003c\/strong\u003e English Bitter, Pale Ale, Golden Ale, Mild, Porter, Stout and traditional British ales.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBrewing with Golding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolding is a versatile traditional hop that can be used for bitterness, flavour and aroma.
