    Not sure if this is sarcasm, or sardonic, or not. In case not, I urge you to spread your wings, the hop revolution and all its wonderful goodness is upon us. Here is a great guide:

    Perhaps he is taking a counter-revolutionary stance.

    i voted for mosaic, but there are so many great hops out there. its tough to pin point just one, especially when some of the best ipas have a blend of some of my favorites. take all green everything, for example: its a blend of citra, mosaic, motueka, and amarillo. dont know the percentages, but those are all great hop flavors.

    It's all about blend and when the hops are added in the boil/how much dry hopping is done for me.

    That being said, I voted Simcoe for the poll's purposes. I LOVE Citra, but it seems to be an awful bittering hop and I've hated some beers with just Citra (namely GF Citra Session), whereas I can't say the same for Simcoe.

    Apparently it is the cliche choice, but man, Citra hops make me feel some kinda way...

    Citra for me but it narrowly edges out Mosaic (Other Half Mosaic sold me on this hop for realz). Ask me three, maybe four years ago and I would have answered Simcoe based on a few single hop beers featuring it (Double Simcoe, Mikkeller Simcoe). I also really enjoy Two Hearted, so Centennial should be in the discussion but oddly enough, I don't really like Centennial from Founders all that much. Go figure.

    Mosiac all the way. Even if it tastes a bit "arm pitty" I just can't get enough of it.

    Chinook, Simcoe, Apollo, Summit, Nugget and HBC342. (I looked up the hop bill for Lagunitas Sucks, the beer that really got me into my hop-tastic voyage)

    Have to go with citra, with mosaic a close second.

    I really like citra, but Falconer's Flight is an awesome and underutilized hop. I need more On the Wings of Armageddon!

    I prefer the notes of Motueka. It doesn't get much better. Subtle lemon and lime without the aggression of bitterness. We just tried Hüll Melon at work. We'll see how that turns out in a few days.

    Fortunately we'll be seeing a lot of guys experimenting with that over the next few months.

    A lot of my favorite hoppy beers are good because they use a combination of hops. I think it's hard to choose just one, when many hops can compliment each other nicely. That being said, I have had a lot of single hop Citra beers that I liked.
