    I don't know too much about hops and the different hop variety because I often don't pay attention to what a certain brewer is using. From the hops I know are in my favorite brews, I'm a citra and simcoe fan.

    Amarillo gets over looked; but the popularity of Little Sumpin Sumpin and Gumball Head so just how great it is.
    It's also in some of my local favorite Ale Asylum beer, Ballistic IPA and Satisfaction Jackson IIPA, as well as Green Flash's Hop Head Red IPA.
    New Glarus uses it in Moon Man with 4 other hop varieties as well.

    This should be a poll? Mosaic.

    Another vote for citra, followed closely by amarillo . I thought I'd love galaxy and mosaic by reading the descriptors but I was not a fan of the beers I had that showcased them.

    Amarillo for an IPA. Noble is good in ambers and more middle-of-the-road brews.

    +1. Are there any beers that feature both Simcoe and Citra with prevalence?

    My favorites are citra, amarillo, centennial and galaxy. Honorable mentions to simcoe and cascade.

    Edit: zombie dust for citra, two hearted for centennial, gumballhead for amarillo and galaxy hero for galaxy.

    Amarillo, although mosaic is making quite the push lately. Galaxy ain't too shabby either

    Definitely - the Simtra Triple IPA from Knee Deep Brewing (California) is my best example. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/23200/78377
