Alpha Acid 5.0 – 7.5% Origin - UK

Originally grown as a Fuggles replacement, Progress is a very versatile hop that combines fine aroma properties with a respectable alpha acid content. It seems to be at its best when combined with Goldings in high class Bitters and Pale Ales.

Aroma hops are usually low in alpha acids but high in essential oils. Brewers wishing to create high class, heavily hopped beers should use aroma hops for all three purposes. The bitterness imparted by aroma hops such as Goldings or Tettnang is totally different from that derived from high alpha varieties such as Northern Brewer or Herald.

i have used them and thought they were great

Yes, I've used them in my last two brews (Hobgoblin) and (English Golden Ale).

Lovely hop with lots of aroma - yum

Never tried them, but they were Dave Line's second favourite hop according to his big book of brewing (after goldings) IIRR.

May give them a try on my next brew.
