So Im a fan of big IPAs such and DFH 90, Avery Maharaja, and Anderson Valley Imperial IPA(ok, this one is a little sweet). Ive been trying to build an IPA with a similar hop flavor, though adding a little peaty/earthiness to it. This is my latest attempt per hops:
Columbus 60 min
Amarillo 30 min
Warrior 30 min
Cascade 15, 5, DH
Centennial 15, 5, DH
Willamette 15, 5, DH
Chinook 15, 5, DH
So I got the undertone flavor Im looking for, but I want that big floral aroma on top that is basically non-existent. I want floral, but I dont like the grapefruit flavor that seems to be in some of those hops. This beer also has some of that grapfruitiness to it as well, and I want to take it out.
So my question is does anyone have a good suggestion as to what hop(s) I should use to get a big floral taste, and what hops, if any, I should remove to replace or to remove that grapefruit flavor
Thanks, looking forward to your input
