VERY West Kent Goldings!
@Steve Ruch, please let us know how they compare to EKGs. I always use EKGs in my British beers but always wondered what US Goldings would taste like.

Wow. I find that hard to believe. Fuggles always smells like dirt to me.
The American ones are quite similar. Maybe a touch less floral or at least if I’m remembering correctly. Higher AA so that could be part of it. I feel like lower AA, using more to hit IBU makes for more floral in some of those noble type hops. I could be completely full of it. I liked the beer where I used those I do know that I wasn’t wishing I used ekgs.

Willamette, columbia are fuggles grown in the USA. Genetically they are similar.
To me they are very similar. When I grew them in Washington I used them in all my British ales.VERY West Kent Goldings!

Love it Great Substitute on a whim I bet those dedicated to Brittish style bitters and such would have to tell the difference but personally if their at a good price I'd use them over any UK origin hops .
