Im in the market for some High Alph Acid general purpose bittering hop.
What is your favorite neutral flavour, high AA hop?

Wouldn't that be a single purpose hop? I agree Magnum is the best neutral bittering hop I have used. Super Alpha is another good one.
SB, if you are looking for a modern UK bitterer try Admiral, around 11% and a good sub for Target without the harshness (According to Craftbrewer) and yes I used it in an Irish Red and :icon_drool2:
Goes great in Stouts, bitters, reds etc.
Edit: It's also got a subtle aroma, I'd even consider using it as a single hop in a malt driven strong beer.

Me too, Love SA, but not really neutral. Magnum is a good bittering hop but always seems to have some sort of metallic flavour to my palate, used it again recently after some years, it's there again.................bugger.

My vote would be for Southern Cross. High AA% and I have had good results as a bittering hop and also in a single hop beer.
Would the super pride you've been using fit here Bribie or not neutral ?
No experience with this one. Please tell your results.

Brad, I've used GB heaps of times but can't see that it's a good bittering hop. I love the hop especially in a Kiwi pale but even though I put in a fair whack it still comes out quite mild. I don't know how they come up with that AA rating - at the rate I use it I should have a big mouth pucker, but nope.What about Green Bullet, I have had good results in lagers with it and will be using it in a FES this Fri arv.
What not-really-neutral-ness do you get from SA, screwy?
