Tropical fruit flavour from hops
Basically I am planning on brewing a pale ale soon and want it to show off "tropical fruit" flavours. Mango, lychee, guava, passionfruit...you get the idea. A bit of orange and tangerine would be nice as well.
Any suggestions of what hop/s to use? I thought of Citra, but I've used it often and want to try something else.

If it is tropical you are after then Riwaka is the hops for you!!! It's bursting with the tropical notes you have described.. It's now one of the most sought after hops outside NZ from micro breweries due to its distinguished taste/aroma.. For me this hop stands out from the rest,but don't take my word for it . :-)
Give it a try and you will see where I'm coming from!!

Galaxy, but use restraint as it tends to dominate if added big and late.
Goes well if you couple it with cascade or centennial for some citrus

I did a Mosaic smash recently, that came out very fruity. Guava was the first smell that everybody said when tasting it.
I would definitely use them again.
