Sly Fox Hop Project WGV Pale Ale

An English hop variety known as WGV (Whitbread Goldings Variety) which was developed in the 1960's in an attempt to create a Goldings hop with a higher alpha acid content (the component of hops responsible for their bittering ability). It has a mild, spicy aroma with flavors of wood and tobacco and is most often used in the production of British style ales.
