Bullion was first grown in 1919 and never took off even though it was one of the original high-alpha hops. Its popularity is declining. It is from Goldings stock, but does not have the flavor or aroma of Goldings. It is rich with an intense blackcurrant aroma. Good for bittering stouts and dark ales. Also used in English ales and heavier German lagers.
