I have these hops and a big sack of marris otter..
Any ideas what I can make, I'm going to try some single hop pale ales.. (I also have wheat, dark crystal malt and can get extra hops, malt) Just want to try and make use of my current stock.

I think the obvious one is a good American IPA but you could also do a traditional English IPA with the English hops you have if you a fed up of American IPA's or do a smash as you have suggested which is good to profile the best out of a single hop
 
The Target, Northdown and Fuggles would make a nice English IPA and contrary to some perceptions Target hops are not just for bittering they go well in English ales you could also use the Goldings for a softer slightly fruitier taste too just be aware of the IBU's if you do not like high bitterness in which case you could get a load of hops and flavour by using the majority in the whirlpool same goes for ta American IPA
 
Thanks guys, my plan was to try a few single hop beers to establish which I like and go from there. Some great ideas I will give them a go..
