Progress Hops

Progress Hops

Progress hops were bred and released as a replacement for Fuggle that was less susceptible to Wilt. The aroma and brewing character is fairly close to Fuggle with some light grassy, herbal, and spice elements. There is also a slight honey aroma that lends a bit of sweetness to any style.

Progress works well as a replacement for any classic style that calls for Fuggle.
