Hey guys,
I was wondering if anybody knows of a hop, or hop combination, that I could use to get a citrus-y taste, without getting that grapefruit flavor. I apologize in advance for any hurt feelings, but I'm really getting tired of this whole grapefruity IPA business. Why can't we have orange, tangerine, blood orange, etc. flavors from a hop.
If anyone knows a good way to get what I'm looking for, please share with me. The closest I've come, is by using the lighter hops for the boil and finishing/dryhopping with the more intense ones. But it still isn't quite what I'm aiming for.
(maybe throwing orange peels in secondary could work, but I'm not sure what the oils would do to the head retention.)
Thanks in advance,
-Ryan
