Hi everyone!
This weekend I'm planning on brewing a hopped up golden ale for the summer. I'm shooting for it to be between 4.5 and 5 % abv. and about 35 to 40 IBU. The grain bill is just 2-row, a bit of crystal 10, and a bit of white wheat for head/body.
Here's where I need some ideas. I have a bunch of Citra and Zythos already in stock, so I'll be using those for sure. What's one or two other types of hop that will pair well with those? I'm shooting for a very tropical fruit aroma and flavor. I was thinking Galaxy, but is that redundant with Citra or are they different enough? I know my LHBS sometimes has Mosaic, but not always. They usually have Nelson Sauvin, I haven't used those yet. Any other ideas? Thanks!
