Single hop beers are a great way to pick up the flavor of a particular variety. Back when I was home brewing, I did a whole series of SMaSH (Single Malt Single Hop) beers to learn the flavors of particular ingredients. They were some of the best homebrews I ever made.

Our favorite was Castle Pale Ale malt from Belgium with American Mt. Hood hops. Mt. Hood is an old school hop that is derived from German Hallertau. It is floral, rather than the citrusy or resinous hops that are fashionable now.
