Default HOPS SCORE! what the hell do i make

I was able to get almost 2# of hops for $25 last night from a fellow AK homebrewer. Frozen and vacuume packed i feel like i got a hell of a deal. Here's the list. I'm not sure the exact weight because i haven't weighed them yet but here is what i think from eyeballin it.

.6# Santiam
.4# williamett
.4# Northern Brewer
.4# Glacier

I usually buy Cascade and Armarillo and make american IPA's and IIPA's. Now what do i make??

Willamette and Northern Brewer are both good in English IPAs. Nice change from grapefruit juice.

Nah...

English APA's (Special Bitters) have a nice bready flavor and aroma. Can be slightly spicy but generally very clean. No dry hopping involved so they are a very traditional style.

Willamette is a great substitute for Fuggles or EKG.
Northern Brewer is the exclusive hops used in Anchor Steam Beer.
Glacier makes a great dry hop or late addition for any APA.

If you like amber ales, I made one last fall with Santiam hops and it was amazing. They seem like an interesting hop.
