    I love tasting a beer and discussing what I'm experiencing. One thing I'm terrible at is picking out particular hop variety flavours. What beers would you say are the quintessential examples of a certain hop? For example Centennial, Citra, Amarillo, Galena etc., etc., etc.

    I'm also trying to nail down why some IPAs/DIPAs I love and why some I hate. I'm convinced it's the hop profile rather than the malt backbone - but I've yet to nail down the hops I like and dislike.

    So, my fellow BAs, I'm asking for your expertise to help enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

    This should help:

    But once the beer starts to have two or more hops and used in different ways all bets will be pretty much off if the brewer doesn't list them.
