I've had a few IPA's/Hop forward beers that had a Minty taste/aftertaste.

I HATE mint.

Which hops should I avoid?
 
Northern Brewer and Perle are the first that come to my mind for "minty" hops. Sometimes "piney" or "evergreen" flavors can taste sort of minty, too. I'd probably avoid Simcoe as well.
 
I've had some that were very piney/evergreen- like pliny for example- which were great.

some others just leave that cooling mint sensation in my mouth- and it drives me nuts. thanks for the heads up
