English Early Bird


Goldings are made up from a group of traditional English varieties which have been cultivated for a long time, including Cobbs, Early Bird, Eastwell Golding, Bramling and Mathons. Reconised as having the most typical English aroma, Goldings, are in demand for copper hopping and dry hopping of traditional ales. Goldings are also found to be useful for late hopping largers, when a delicate aroma is required.
