NE IPA without Citra Hops?

[golfgod04]

Does anyone have a good hop combo for a New England IPA that doesnt use citra hops? I'm looking for any suggestions. I'm guessing I'm going to go with Mosaic, Amarillo, and simcoe ? I dont want to use Mandarina Bavaria or Citra

Galaxy and Nelson sauvin

Galaxy and Amarillo and simcoe. mmmmm

Galaxy and vic secret (galactic *******)

I just used the vic secret and am VERY pleased with the aroma from them, however it was not in a NEIPA, it was in a pale ale, but I did use 2.75oz worth for the dry hop. So my comment is more about the tropical fruit forward aroma, and boy is it delicious!

Something like Columbus as a bittering hop then mosiac or galaxy in the dry hopping stage are my favorites.

Your idea of Mosaic/Amarillo/Simcoe is a good one.

I have done one as follows that I liked;
Flame out - 1:1:1 Centennial/Amarillo/Simcoe
160 degree hop stand - 1:1:1 Centennial/Amarillo/Simcoe
Dry Hop day 3-4 - 1.5:1.5 Amarillo/Simcoe
Dry Hop day 8-9 - 1.5:1.5 Amarillo/Simcoe
Keg Day 14 or so

Azacca if you can't get Galaxy and want that tropical fruit element?

Amarillo/ Centennial/ Simcoe is an awesome combo.

Not the only one that thinks so: http://www.alesoftheriverwards.com/2015/08/tired-hands-hophands-clone-revisted.html

If you can't get Galaxy, use Rakau. It makes an excellent substitute

Nelson/Mosaic/Simcoe in equal amounts works great as well!
Or just Nelson/Mosaic.
