On many hop charts it is compared to Challenger as it is a fairly high alpha hop with high levels of the oil selenium. I have always used EKG in my English styles, and Pilgrim is not very different than EKG. If anything, it's flavor seems milder and smoother yet with the same earthy, floral English taste. There is also a hint of lemon in there somewhere. My first impression is that it tastes like cask ales that I drank when in the UK.
