Fuggle is a traditional English hop variety known for its mild and earthy aroma. It was first cultivated in the 19th century and has become a staple in many British ales, particularly pale ales and bitters. Fuggle hops contribute subtle floral and herbal notes, making them popular among brewers seeking a balanced flavor profile. This hop variety is often used in combination with other hops to enhance the complexity of the beer. Fuggle is typically low in alpha acids, which means it is more suited for aroma and flavor rather than bitterness. Its versatility makes it a favorite among craft brewers and homebrewers alike.
