So, you just had a great IPA and you find out which hops are in it. With most it is a melange of different varietals. You especially liked a citrus taste. Now, you could GoogleBing search or you could go straight to Hopslist.
You can read about the talked about new hops like Cashmere that is new on the scene or research EKG, East Kent Goldings. There are stats for each. Some more filled in than others but what I find most useful are the little blurbs about each one. It gives you a starting point to begin your education in hop cones.
And to extend the hop talk even though it may seem to be playing into the hands of the over eager hop heads, I will be reviewing three different hop centric beers today and tomorrow.
Now somebody has to do the same for malts.
That would certainly help. Me in particular.
