When you read hop descriptions they mostly/entirely focus on the aroma and flavor of the hop. If the initial hop addition (say at 60 minutes) only yields bitterness, does the specific hop you use really matter (assuming you get the same IBUs)?
Say you take two beers, both with the same grain bill, mid/late additions, and IBUs but one is bittered with Columbus and the other Nelson Sauvin. Would you tell a difference? How so?
Besides AA% and being able to use a smaller quantity of hops to bitter, do certain hops used at bittering produce better tasting beer?
Something that I've been wondering about recently.
