The only hops in that bunch I've used have been Chinook and Mosaic. And I've only used Mosaic in one finished batch and my IPA that's fermenting right now. I have zero experience with the rest of them, so it will be interesting to hear how it turns out.

I don't know how much of that you'll get out of palisade. Ended up with lots of it when I was buying kits still and haven't been able to get rid of it all yet.

I throw it in the middle of other hops when I make IPAs sometimes but I don't think it's really that great.

I'd probably take the Chinook out of it too and leave yourself with just these non-traditional hops


I may substitute pride of ringwood for Northdown. They contribute pretty much the same aromas/flavors, but ringwood is austrailian hop, as is topaz.

I felt the Palisade with a descriptor of "Apricot, grass and clean floral charcteristics" would be nice to provide a little balance of the apricot with the grassy overtones. But if the palisade is bland then i may leave it out. Trying to make the beer grassy and a bit balanced at the same time.

What about simcoe or northern brewer in place of the chinook?

And, FWIW, the inspiration for this beer is Lagunitas Hop Stoopid, and Stone Enjoy by 4.01.13 i believe. This one was very grassy.

I'm also formulating a tropical fruit/floral/citrus IPA which i'll dive into once i get this one sorted out.

So, my wife said she wants me to brew her a beer that is hoppy, sweet, yet peppery... Any ideas?!?

Mosaic or citra Pale ale with peppercorns?

Sounds good. Don't need the peppercorns. Maybe do citra/chinook pale ale. or Amarillo/Chinook

Peppery makes me instantly think Columbus/Tomahawk as a >10 minute boil addition.

Columbus definitely has that black pepper flavor/aroma.

I've used the hop union 'aroma wheel' web paged from time to time when looking for a hop particular aroma/flavor. It only covers the hops they distribute, but it's still pretty handy.

Well, if I really say what I'd do, mine would probably be closer to 20% rye


yes, I'm quoting myself

I looked up the rye IPA I made, out of curiosity, and it is 18.8% rye, and 6.3% Crystal 40L. El Dorado, Citra and Amarillo hops.
Would probably drop the crystal for something else next time.

Was listening to brewing with style on the brewing network and mitch steele from stone was saying that they try not to use any crystal in their IPA's and that they use Honey malt to enhance the fruity flavors of citrusy ipa's

My fruity/citrus IPA i'm formulating, i'm following the same plan.

interesting. I don't want to add crystal malts just to change the color. I don't care about the color, honestly

A whole bunch of previous harvest hops on sale at Nikobrew. I couldn't pass up those prices on Hallertau and Northern Brewer.

Brewing for Zapp's this morning. Passionfruit tea wheat. The beer should end up being pink. It's a good festival beer.
