Progress
Developed at Wye College in 1951 (a daughter of
WGV). Somewhat similar to Fuggle, but slightly sweeter, and
usually providing a softer bitterness in beers of all types.
With its slightly higher alpha content, Progress represents a good
value for bitterness if a beer recipe demands aroma hops for all the
bittering element.
