I didn't have enough Belma so it ended up being crystal and Tett.  German, not American. FTR Crystal is one of my favorite American hops. I agree it is like Hallertauer with a touch of cascade.

I need to buy some more Crystal.  I bought a 1/2 lb a couple years ago and that was the only time I brewed with it.  I liked it quite a bit, but only noticed a spicy Hallertau character (obvious reasons) but not the touch of Cascade. Could've been seasonal or terroir differences.

EDIT - That or I received Mt Hood instead.

Kolsch was the next beer I thought I'd use Mandarina in.  I see that working pretty well.
