Hey I'm pretty new to brewing and I was wondering, what is a good hop smorgasbord for sampling the basic hop characters. What hops are a good all around for a particular flavor and aroma. For example, I know that cascade is a good basic hop for a citrusy character. So that's already on my list. So what other hops are good for the other characters/flavors they add to beer? What is a good all around for piney, or earthy, or spicy, and etc.
I think that the answers here are gonna be great for other starting brewers like me to find out which hop characters they like, and to have a baseline for other types of hops along that flavor/aroma spectrum.
