[beerspitnight]

Magnum
Cascade

That was might thought as well.
Magnum for impartial bittering flavors
Cascade for the American flavors
EKG for the English flavors.

Although Fuggle might have to get into the cage and battle it out with EKG for that final spot.

Wouldn't it be nice to get ahold of some Citra hops?!! Love 'em! Aren't those a proprietary variety only available to industrial growers?
