I heart Bridgeport IPA for its delicate floral/lychee character. I WANT THAT IN MY MOUTH, so bad I'll brew a freakin' fruit beer (with canned lychees) if I have to, but I'd rather just find the right hops to focus in on that flavor and smell. Bridgeport reportedly uses Cascade, Chinook, Goldings, Crystal and Ahtanum -- do any of those have that awesome rose and lychee thing? I've used Cascade, Chinook, and Goldings but I haven't gotten that particular note from any of them, so it's gotta be either Crystal or Ahtanum....
If I do brew a lychee beer, I was thinking of Magnum, Chinook and Centennial because that's what I have, and I assume they would match with the lychees.
