I agree. Last year I had a pale ale at a beerfest that was really good. I e-mailed the brewer to ask about it and it turned out to be a centennial/cascade combo. It was very well balanced and not agressively cascaded like so many brewers think you have to do with cascades.
I'm just here for the beer.

I did GW's Summer Lightining for a friend's wedding (100l). Used Nottingham yeast, came out wonderful. If you're worried about not getting the required hop aroma, you can always dry hop post-fermentation.
