Melon

Melon-forward hops suggest honeydew, watermelon, or soft tropical melon alongside citrus. They work well in hazy IPA, pale ale, and modern aroma-driven beers where you want juicy softness rather than sharp grapefruit alone.

Citra, Mosaic, Motueka, Amarillo, El Dorado, Lemondrop, Mandarina Bavaria, Hallertau Blanc, Nectaron, and similar fruit-driven varieties often show melon notes in late and dry-hop additions.
