English Progress
Product Description
Origin: England. Progress was one of the first
varieties to come out of a modern breeding program in England. Its
lineage includes Whitbread Goldings and O.B.79, making it cousin to
Target. Developed to create a very “English” Fuggle-like impression in
the glass.
Usage: Aroma. Very fine as a late
kettle, hop back, or cask addition in the hoppy English trifecta:
bitter, pale ale, IPA. Progress has a high enough alpha content to also
perform light bittering duty in mild, brown, and Scottish ales. Adds a
nice element to brown porters. Like Fuggle, does well as a single hop or
component of a blend.
Aroma & Flavor Characteristics: Moderate
to strong suggestions of spring grass, herbs, and fresh flowers
overlaid on woods and dried mint. Adds nice floral and grass/herbal
complement when blended with fruitier varieties (think EKG or Sovereign)
for late and dry hopping.
To preserve freshness, all BSG HandCraft hops are packaged in nitrogen-flushed, oxygen and light-barrier packages.
