Fuggle hops are similar to Kent Goldings, but with a more noticeable aroma. Fuggle is generally associated with delicate and pleasant mint, grass, and floral tones. When you're making ales and don't want a dominant Northwest-aroma hop (Cascade, Centennial, Columbus or Chinook), nor the softness of Kent Goldings, Fuggles is a fine choice.
