Sovereign is a hedgerow variety bred at Wye College from an open pollination made in 1995. It is a grand-daughter of Pioneer. It was selected for its good aroma, often likened to that of Fuggles.

Recommended for use alone in Stouts and in combination with Goldings in British Bitters and Pale Ales. May provide interesting character for Light & Helles Lagers or Kölsch.
