Citrus / passionfruit Hops

[Darrens]

Morning everyone , Im looking for a taste of citrus / passionfruit flavours in my beer. What hops can you guys recommend please . Really looking for that kind of flavour .
Appreciate your help.

Darren.

 

[wereprawn]

Passion fruit = galaxy or vic secret .

Citrus= citra, amarillo and heaps of others

 

[landyjg]

I could recommend:

• Galaxy (Late addition + Dry Hop)
• Citra
• Galena
• Cascade
• Northern Brewer

I've found that using an American ale yeast (AKA US-05) really helps the fruity / citrus notes shine through.

 

[ScottyDoesntKnow]

Citra, citra....and more citra

 

[damoninja]

Galaxy, galaxy....and more galaxy

I made a hopped cider 2 years ago where I actually boiled some galaxy as well as dry hopped post ferment...

Tasted like

 

[amarks6]

Try some Mosaic with Galaxy. Great combination.

 

[damoninja]

I make a mean APA with those 2 -_- -_- can barely brew it fast enough

 

[pcmfisher]

I reckon Nelson Sauvin is the classic passion fruit hop

 

[Markbeer]

I have made lots and concur but late in the boil and flameout.

I reckon Nelson Sauvin is the classic passion fruit hop

 

[Danscraftbeer]

Yeah me too. For fruitiness, nectar/Passionfruity etc. I've been toying with the combination of Galaxy/Mosaic/Nelson Sauvin.
That gets more complex than just passionfruit.

Care to share the recipe please? Only beer I think I've had with those hops in it was a James Squire Hop Thief and it wasn't great(not the hops fault!)

Sure will PM to you when home rather than hijack the thread

 

[mattyh77]

Oh please hijack. I'd be interested too. I reckon a few more would be interested as well

This was inspired by the same beer (no. 7), I wasn't impressed by the lack of hops so decided to do something about it.

This is V2, added a little more late hop which I think have added a tiny bit more bitterness, the third iteration will see me drop the magnum a fraction and I maaay back off the crystal a bit, but I'm not sure yet... wait til I'm through these 2 kegs and ~20 bottles of it I'm enjoying it so far...

My house IPA is very similar: 5.5-6% ABV with US05 - 90% ale malt 5% light crystal 5% medium crystal, no hops before 30min. Usually citra & mosaic, but have had success with single hop galaxy, citra, cascade, chinook, mosaic, amarillo and various combinations.

At some point I'm planning on amping this up to 7% ABV and going 50-100% the hops..........

It'll be the hop heist

 

[Darrens]

Thanks guys for all the responses . Heaps of different ideas.

Me too please if that's ok

 

[capsicum]

I make a golden ale I call "passion gap" -

Plenty of Citra and galaxy flavour and aroma, then chuck a few cans (or fresh) of passionfruit pulp in secondary. Once the krausen from that fruit sugar settles down, dry hop with galaxy about 2g / litre a few days before kegging. Simple but always popular.

I brewed this and bottled 2 weeks ago, couldn't wait any longer and got stuck into it tonight. I dry hopped with 6.5g/l split between 5 days and then 2. Easily the most hop forward beer I've made to date, alot darker in colour than i expected too! Epic beer, probably my best to date, thanks for sharing the recipe.
