A friend of mine had a question and as I’m not much of a brewer, I’m looking for some help. What type(s) of hops impart those lucious stonefruit (peach, mango) flavors to a brew...particularly an IPA? Thanks brewers!!  |

Thanks! Is cluster the only one? Is it readily available?

I don’t think Cluster imparts that kinds of flavours and aromas at all. I would rather use Galaxy and/or Citra.

It really doesn’t. I would choose what VsXsV suggests. Or if you want something spectacular - Nelson Sauvin. |

Peach and Mango - definitely Citra, it tastes like mango juice (or maybe guava juice). Galaxy are similar although more pineapply.

I’ll second Nelson Sauvin hops for this. |

You want tropical fruit and stone fruit? Citra and Amarillo are the way(s) to go.

We just did an IPA with 2/3 citra and 1/3 amarillo for every addition and it’s pure peach and mango aroma.

Citra would be your best bet. That hop brings out huge mango flavors to me. Galaxy is orange/grapefruit imo. Centennial when used in combination with galaxy can really get some tropical notes as well.
