What hops alternatives do you like? (kbin.earth)

I'm particularly fond of heather ales and spruce beers. The only sahti (which has juniper) I've had was made by me, so I have no idea if I got it traditionally right, but I certainly enjoyed it. No disrespect to all you IPA lovers out there, but the hops-forward style isn't my thing, so for those of you that are in the same camp, where do you like to turn?

I don't think I've ever had it with any sort of sugar, or with water for that matter. My experiences with it have been when friends show up with a bottle of it

I can't sleep so I was looking for photos of how to serve it right but then I remembered about this video. I highly recommend finding place like this and try it.
