Many beer styles possess a noticeably rich and zesty orange note despite containing no actual fruit, as those characteristics are derived solely from the hops used in the recipe. We explore 5 hops that are known to contribute orange character to beer and go over blind taster data for each variety. Which one will reign supreme?

The only thing that you are missing – Use them all and lots of them. They all sound amazing and I am quite positive that they will play well together.
BTW – thanks for the video. I am definitely going to use this information.
I like using Comet, which I believe is a Citra cousin, for orange flavor.
Interesting, but you’ve conflated citrus with orange. I find many hops can confer citrus flavor, but usually more in the grapefruit direction, not specifically orange. I don’t understand why you take a high citrus rating to be equivalent to having an orange quality. you should have had the tasters specify what type of citrus flavor they perceive and presented this information.
What no First Gold?
Mosaic should give you lots of orange flavours?
