I've read that hoppy and malty don't match well.
Are there hops that might (or do) match well with very malty beers?
What are the best combinations?
What are the worst?
Citrusy would include Citra, Galaxy, and
Amarillo. Others can add to this list.
Thanks everyone for your input. Your ideas are hepfull.
I can't recall where I heard this, several times actually, but it was in regards very malty beer and certain hops that simply did not go well. Many of the comments here so far pointed to those that might not overpower the malty flavor~aroma but, to have a clearer picture... which hops do you think would work LEAST well in a malt bomb?
If I come across the ones I heard about I will post them, for clarity.
Perhaps it was the citrusy ones...
These people determined (by actually trying it no less) that Magnum would actually make a fairly decent Lager/Pilsner hop. They determined that it had easily recognizable floral and spicy/herbal properties (and pretty close to exclusively these properties) when used for flavor and aroma additions.
