East Kent Goldings Hop Pellets

East Kent Goldings — often called the King of English hops — is renowned for its refined aroma, gentle spice, and smooth floral sweetness. Originating from Kent, England, this heritage variety has been cultivated since the 18th century and remains the gold standard for traditional British ales.

Its soft, balanced character and distinctive earthy-sweet finish make it perfect for classic English Bitters, Pale Ales, Porters, and IPAs, and it shines beautifully in dry hopping to accentuate aroma without harshness.
