Bred in 1911, a Goldings relation and promoted for its flavour and disease resistant qualities.  It provides a distinctive sweet fruit flavour similar to, but generally more pronounced than, Goldings.  Best suited to pale ales, light bitters and wheat beers.  It gives a mild, clean bitterness in traditional ales, and is sometimes used with good effect as a distinctive dry hop.
