Just bought some Gauloise Blonde beer and looking on website it mentions its made using "fine hops". What exactly would these be?
Awaiting education!!!

I think you may find that 'fine' might just be 'of excellent quality'...

Could be one of noble hops, sometimes they are described as having a fine aroma or fragrance.

That's what I'd think.
On the other kind it could have gone this way.
Brewer, "Time to brew, what hops do we have?"
After the apprentice tells him what variety, "Fine, light the fire." :)
I'm just here for the beer.
