It's a Goldings ...the name is given to where it is grown.
East-Kent Goldings is grown in East Kent, Kent Goldings is grown in mid-Kent.
It's just called Goldings for every where else it is grown.
"East Kent Goldings are a premium hop; hence, the price is higher
than Kent or Worcester Goldings. The soil and climatic conditions and maybe
the husbandry of the farmers in that part of Kent make it a unique and delicate
aroma, superb for use in craft ales and lagers."
Styrian Goldings is the same a Fuggles, the name came about through a mix
up:
"In the former country of Yugoslavia, hops were grown in two districts, one
near Lake Bled in the Savinja Valley and the other in Backa near Zagreb. Styrian
(Steirer) Golding are grown on the border of Austria and the Savinja Valley.
By genetics they are true English Fuggles, which are grown seedless.
Hence, they are slightly higher in alpha acid content, ranging from 4.0-6.0%.
The beta acids are very similar to Fuggles, 2.0-3.0% and the cohumulone
is 28%.
The Savinja Valley suffered badly in the early 1930s from a disease which
devastated their (German origin) aroma cultivars. This resulted in a visit to
England to obtain and English aroma variety. They thought they had selected a
Golding, so they called it Styrian or Steirer Golding unaware it was a Fuggle
they had selected."
