For those of us who are still brewing from kits and recipes and want to branch out and try building our own flavors, what resources are there that describe the various flavors contributed by particular specialty malts and strains of hops?

For example, how would the flavor profile of an Irish Red change if I replaced the Kent Golding Hops with, say, Saaz or Cascade hops? Or if I were to replace some of the Cara Munich malt with a Crystal malt?

I always thought this was a helpful chart for hops, don't know the original source though.

It's covered in the book "Experimental Homebrewing"
