The variety was traditionally used in the brewing industry and is frequently mentioned in connection with the derivative variety Spratt-Archer, which was dominant in British agriculture for a long time. It belongs to the category of heirloom varieties and is not a modern commercial product.
Grain quality studies show that the variety possesses a specific biochemical composition, including an increased content of total thiols, which affects wort filtration processes and oxidative stability. Modern agrotechnical indicators, such as precise plant height or disease resistance, are unavailable for this historical variety.
