There are swath of more subtle hop flavors in English beers that I enjoy, and with which I’m becoming better acquainted. But I had no idea that Chinook and Nugget descended from Goldings, and they’re two favorites of mine. Troegs in Pennsylvania makes a seasonal “Imperial Amber” called Nugget Nectar that’s downright delicious.

And I do like the Meantime IPA and Summer Lightning, but wasn’t aware that the latter was “pure” in terms of Goldings. Any more pure Goldings beers that you’re aware of? I’d like to get my hands on some here in the States, if at all possible.
