Bred from Norther Brewer and English Golding stock, Target is an excellent bittering hop with a classic English character. While typically used for its high alpha percentage, this hop has gained some popularity for its aroma as well.

Smooth and sweet, Goldings are recognized as having the most typical English profile. This hop is in demand for copper-hopping and dry hopping of traditional ales. Use Golding hops in combination with Fuggles for a time-honored taste. Kent Goldins are also useful for late hopping lagers, when a delicate aroma is required.
