€118.20
Hop First Gold (UK) in pellets T90 in 5 kg bag - The variety is very suitable both as a general kettle hop and also for late and dry hopping in all
types of beer. First Gold has good aroma and bittering qualities, much of the flavour of WGV
seems to have been retained but with an added extra citrus quality; produces a well-balanced
bitterness and a fruity, slightly spicy note in ales. An orangey quality has been observed in many
beers brewed using this variety.
