Usage: Aroma. Regarded for centuries as England’s finest hop, EKG has been a spotlight flavor in the profiles of hoppy ales from the British Isles: IPA, pale ale, and bitter. It’s used at lower rates to subtle effect in Scottish and other darker, maltier ales.

Aroma & Flavor Characteristics: Flowery with citrus peel or citrus candy overtones and an herbaceous, spring
meadow-like undercurrent. Gentle and refi ned, dry hopping can bring forth its citrus aspects alongside a fresh
grassy note.
