The panel of Master Brewers judged the hops on their trueness to type, quality and intensity of aroma, presentation, and most importantly the hop sample from each category they would most want to brew with! From the “powerful and tropical fruit aroma” of recently bred variety called Sussex, to the delicate “Minty and Floral” characteristics of the historic Fuggle, the competition not only highlighted the wonderful aromas of English hops it demonstrated the knowledge and passion of our English growers.
