Brewers Gold T90 pellets give you a 200g pack of one of the oldest hop varieties in commercial production - a British-bred bittering hop with a fruity, spicy edge and a hint of blackcurrant.
It gives a firm, honest bitterness with a little dark-fruit character, so it suits beers where malt does the talking and the hops hold everything in balance.
