I've recently started developing my own recipes. This is my first time blending hops and when I tasted a sample I wasn't sure about the flavor. I am hoping for some critiques and advice from everyone.

Some of my reasoning:
Warrior = clean bittering hop

Cascades = left over from a different brew and I figured why not?

Simcoe: I was hoping for a nice pine and resinous flavor profile.

Centennial because I thought it would pair well with the Simcoe. (I may have been misremembering an older recipe I found online. It seems Columbus may be a better match for Sim? With it being more dank it might have matched nicely with the simcoe pine)

Anyway, any insights are welcome.
