I'm just looking to spice up my traditional "base" recipe for all my fruit beers. I typically use hallertauer.
What do you use?

What hops would you put in a strawberry wheat?

Noble hops are classic for wheat ales but American hops are good choices also. I would try centennial/citra/columbus for my wheat, but that's just me! ;-)

I've made the Lemon-Lime Hef in the recipe section a couple times now. It calls for Motueka as supposedly its very citrusy. My LHBS didn't have it but I substituted Sterling for it and it turned out pretty good.

There are a lot of hops you can use in wheat beers to give them a kick.
But for a fruit beer, I'd leave the hops in the background. You want to showcase the fruit flavor, not have it compete with the hops.

Strawberries add a citric acid tartness so keep the bitterness on the low side to avoid a bitter/tart thing going on. I personally use magnum for all my bittering additions. Belma hops have a strawberry kind of thing going on if you don't like the idea of using magnum.

Take a look at Perle. I used it in a cherry wheat this spring that came out very nice, still have a few bottles you can try

Noble or floral, or both.
