The grapefruit hop
|
|
I have had several IPAs or hoppy PAs over the years that have had a very prominent grapefruit taste. What kind of hops are used to create this effect. Is it the Columbus?

I have used lots of Cascade over the past couple years, but it never has given it a truly grapefruit flavor. Citrusy, yes, but not really grapefruit... :-/

simcoe/amarillo do it in several clones.... look up a recipe online for DFH60 or for Ranger IPA. Both have what I consider great grapefruit notes.

I get grapefruit from both Simcoe and Centennial.

Doesn't Centennial have a similar flavor profile to Cascade, just with more alpha-acids?
