There's a spreadsheet in the depths of AHB somewhere that gives a pretty good descriptor for hop varieties. I won't tell you what would be good for this, but my opinion would be something that compliments the spicy/zesty tang you're putting in there with the other side dishes. if you fail to find the spreadsheet, have a look on craftbrewers website at the hops, it'll give you a pretty good indicator of what it's like.

Maple is right. somewhere on AHB there are several hops spreadsheets. I cant remember where Ive posted them, so here they are again.
