Breeding:
Released in 1875 by Mr Richard Fuggle of Brenchley in Kent, UK from a seedling selected in 1861. Fuggle is grown in Slovenia as Styrian Goldings and in the USA as Oregon Fuggle and reputedly as US Tettnang. In the UK it is susceptible to wilt and has been produced in lower volumes in recent years and it is hoped that Wye Hops will make wilt resistant seedlings available by 2015.
Fuggle bittering characteristics are described as well rounded, classic and green tea.
