So I have been working on a recipe for an Amber Ale. I think I got the grain bill to a workable place, but I can't decide on the hops. I was thinking of using Glacier hops for flavor/aroma, but now I am having second thoughts. I was thinking of subbing the Glacier for Crystal (Temporarily out of stock at my brew shop) or Mount Rainier hops. But I don't quite know what flavor I should be shooting for or what the difference will be between these hops.
Any suggestions are more than welcome.
