Fuggle Hop Pellets (US)

Fuggle (US) has slightly less aroma impact than its English counterpart. Grown at first in Oregon and now in Washington it features a more balanced oil profile and higher alpha acid content than the original UK variety giving it a fruitier flavor profile. In commercial circles it has now largely been replaced by Willamette.Also Known AsUS FuggleCharacteristicsPurposeAromaAlpha Acid Composition4%-5.5%Beta Acid Composition1.5%-2%Co-Humulone Composition25%-33%CountryUSCone SizeSmallCone DensityModerate to compactSeasonal MaturityEarlyYield Amount1070-1600 kg/hectare (955-1420 lbs/acre)Growth RateModerateResistant toResistant to downy mildew and prunus necrotic ring-spot virusSusceptible toStorabilityRetains 60%-65% alpha acid after 6 months storage at 20C (68F)East of HarvestTotal Oil Composition0.7-1.4 mL/100gMyrcene Oil Composition24%-28%Humulene Oil Composition35%-40%Caryophyllene Oil11%-13%Farnesene Oil4%-5%SubstitutesFuggle (UK) Willamette Styrian Golding Tettnanger (GR)Style GuideEnglish Pale Ale Belgian India Pale Ale Extra Special Bitter Brown Ale Red Ale
