I'm still trying to find the right hop combinations for my house pale ale. I'm looking for a nice earthy tone, with a pine/citrus aroma/flavor. In my research I've come across Willamette as a nice earthy Fuggle-like hop, and Chinook as the piney one. I've never used the latter for flavor/aroma additions and am wondering what people can tell me about it. How much is too much in the later additions considering it's high AA content? I'll probably run a test batch in the near future with those two + Amarillo, but was hoping there would be some guideness to be given for now.
