    Can the good peeps of BA recommend a hop which gives off a strong lychee flavour? I've tried Amarillo, Mosaic, Nelson Sauvin, to no avail.

    I think Citra or Galaxy is a safer bet

    I don't know about strong lychee flavor, but I get it from Citra mixed in with all the other stuff. Maybe a mix of Citra and Nelson would get you in the ballpark.

    Interesting, that's actually going into one of my next brews.

    Some people claim to get lychee from Cascade but that probably depends heavily on where it was grown.
