I'm still playing with a recipe that I haven't quite worked out yet. So far I've tried both hops mentioned in the title and find myself wanting something between the two as far as bitterness goes. The magnum was very mild and even over 50IBU it didn't really neutralize sweetness like I'd hoped. I tried using Chinook for that very reason and now I'm on the opposite side of things. Too bitter and leaves a papery dry finish.
I've used Green Bullet to bitter and had some nice results. Paired with fruity hops I didn't find the bitterness intrusive or harsh like I do with Chinook in this beer. It was a bit abrasive but more like a 200 grit rather than Chinook's 80 grit.
Any other ideas? What about Warrior? I'd rather not do Columbus because of the earthy/funky thing it does. Plus I'm not sure if it's so dissimilar than Chinook.
