To brew a killer NEIPA, one needs big, juicy hop aromas and flavors. I have heard a few brewers describe what they call "base" or "dominant" or "banger" hops that form the structure and big flavor that the other hops can layer upon.
Examples:
Citra
Mosaic
Simcoe
Galaxy
Strata
Nelson Sauvin
Sabro
Theres probably a good reason you would be hard pressed to find a good NEIPA without one of those hops. Anyways, are there any other hops that you all would add to this list? Maybe some older hops that are fruit-forward? Any new American, Australian, or New Zealand varietals?
