COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Special - January/February 2011 (Single Hop Series).
Fuggle (or Fuggles) is possibly the best known English hop variety, and dates as a variety from 1875 when it was ’developed’ by Mr Richard Fuggle, a hop grower from Kent. Once the mainstay of British Brewing, it is now outclassed commercially by more modern varieties, and whilst still popular with smaller breweries, it is a declining variety in terms of volumes grown each year, and may well be at risk of disappearing in years to come.

Cask, gravity, at the Pig ’n’ Falcon, St Neots, Cambridgeshire. Copper with a white head. Sweet malt aroma with a little cereal. Malty taste with a sharp bitter finish. Fair enough.

Gravicask (CWAF2010) - staff beer - thanks Cambridge CAMRA!
6 Simple bready aroma.
3+ Rich amber, small head.
6 Competent bitter, but mostly bready, really not showing off fuggles at all.
3 Soft palate, carbonation low. Finish simply malty, and a touch bitter. 13 A bit middle of the road. Nothing wrong with it at all, it’s just that Fuggle’s my 2nd favourite hop, and this doesn’t show it off well enough.
