I have tried a few beers recently where the description on the bottle confirms that 'citrus hops' are used for a sharp fruity flavour.
I quite liked the effect in all the beers, but wouldn't know what hops to use to try and get the same flavour in a homebrew.
Can anybody give me the names of the hops likely to produce this citrus flavour? Also, is this something that would just be extracted from the hop during the boil, or do any special tecniques, like dry-hopping, have to be used to achieve this?
Cheers
