Only used citra of those 3, bumping to see if someone else can help.
I've only used Citra, but have drunk a couple of Wakatu beers, which were very nice. Both hops are excellent late hops. Calypso is described as a high alpha dual purpose hop, so maybe use it for bittering and use one of the others for flavour/aroma? That's the way I would go, but others may have more experience.
Here's where I'm thinking of going with this now.....
I've used up the Wakatu in a single-hop brew to test it out. I'm planning a pale ale based on Calypso, with a flavour addition of Citra.
Then, I should have just enough Citra to have a go at the Oakham Citra clone. Plus, I should have a little Calypso left for emergencies :-)

Is there a recipe around for that Oakham Citra?
There are recipes floating around for Oaham.
I found this for the Citra Gold http://www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk/forum/view ... ld#p602534
I may end up brewing both, as I like Citra so much!!

When I am evaluating a new hop; particularly one that is more suited for flavour/aroma, I tend to use a fairly simple grain bill of 90/10 pale to munich. I then use an English hop that I know well for the bittering addition....usually challenger. The new hop is then added for late additions and steeping.
I find I can get a good feel for the flavour and aroma of the new hop this way.

Another way of finding out about the hop is to do a single hop beer. :whistle:
