I was at my LHBS last week, and they were giving away a free pound of hops when you purchased a certain value of merchandise. Most of the names of the hops on the list I did not recognize, but I thought I had heard of Mt. Rainier hops before. So I just got a full pound of of Mt. Rainier pellets.

Does anyone have a good APA or IPA recipe that uses Mt. Rainier hops?

Here's a sample glass. Definite hints of citrus and licorice from the hops, but well balanced with the malt. A touch of caramel as well.
