WGV
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.
