I'm tired of citrusy hops. Grapefruity in particular. Our local brewery serves pretty much nothing but beers made with a grapefruit flavor, and I want something different. The head brewer there only likes grapefruity flavored beers and that's all he'll make, no matter how many times we tell him that some people want something different to choose from, from time to time.
I know about a few from past experiences, really like the Hallertau and especially Czech Saaz. Maybe Perle, I think it was...? I can (and have) spend hours looking up descriptions of them, but what do you guys use when you want something different, something besides the common grapefruity, coriander seasoned, citrusy ale? I personally love Cascade, but I'm kinda burnt out on it, I've made so many beers with the stuff..
Tried Equinox..and while I had high hopes for it, it's probably not one I'll get again. True to its description, it was hard to nail down to just one flavor and did kind of change depending on mood, or circumstance. But what other big, noble hops do you guys like to use?
