Some one of the traditional British ale hops. You want it to fit the beer. Or you could go totally Left Coast and just toss in a few cones of Cascade before you chill it into your fermenter. Maybe go with a "gruit" or herb mixture other than hops, such as a few sprigs of heather?
Depends on how "true to style" you want to be. Nothing wrong with "fusion" and innovation, of course.
Thank you, sir! That's the kind of input I was hoping for. I tried a heather beer once and really enjoyed it. Hmmm. Now you've got me thinking!
