    What are your thoughts on which one is better for aroma and/or flavoring for an English/Irish style beer?

    I was never found of the aroma from an EKG, or an MRI or X-Ray for that matter.

    Very tough call, I tend to use them together for English ales. A little like, what do you put on your PB&J, PB or J?

    They are both good hop choices for English ales. I tend to lean towards fuggles a little more for aroma. i just like it a little better. Just my preference.

    I am a huge fan of EKG, use it in almost all my English ales.

    I use fuggles for flavor and EKG for aroma in most beers that I brew.

    I raise Fuggles in the garden and make my Stouts and English Bitters with Fuggles. Makes my garden smell real nice in August....

    Goldings are my favorite englsh hops. I have some growing in my back yard.
    To my taste fuggles go better in dark beer. Maybe that's just me.

    I really like both for British Ales.

    In fact, I often use EKG as a bittering hops for British Ales also.
