So I'm looking to brew an anzus ipa.

I will be using galaxy for the Aussie hop and Nelson for the kiwi hop.

I am looking for an american hop that will compliment this combo.

I have been considering citra but fear i'll have a fruit bomb with nothing to add complexity.

I have thought simcoe might add a bit of dankness to balance the fruit.

I am open to all suggestions.

Centennial or Cascade are good safe bets.

Amarillo carries a nice flowery spicy note and might be a good compliment to your galaxy and nelson.. I use it very late in the boil (10-5) you tend to get more of the citrus when dry hopped..

centennial?! its an awesome hop uberflowery

nice I wouldn't of thought of centennial myself.

would a 1:1:1 ratio work for these hops?

It's a personal preference but I'd boost the Centennial relative to the others.

Something like this maybe?

Centennial : Galaxy : NS

2 : 1 : 1

Ok how's this look?

Gladfield Ale Malt 5.6 kg

Gladiator Malt      0.2 kg

Biscuit Malt         0.2 kg 

Hopshot 60 min 1 ml

Centennial 14 g 15 min

Nelson 7 g 15 min

Galaxy 7 g 15 min

Centennial 42 g whirlpool @ flame out

Nelson 21 g whirlpool @ flame out

Galaxy 21 g whirlpool @ flame out

Centennial 84 g dry hop

Nelson 42 g dry hop

Galaxy 42 g dry hop

Gives 60 ibu according to beersmith. 

However I am worried that the 60 min edition is so low 9.5 ibu and most of the ibu's are coming from the whirlpool. Is this going to leave me with a beer that doesn't have any balls?

Chinook.

Cheers for all the replies.

Went with centennial in the end.

Mosaic or Citra would be perfect.

Funnily enough, I actually just did a similar beer.

I had some left over us hops and Some left over galaxy.

So I used Columbs @60, the centennial/amarillo simcoe late

and I'm dryhopping 50/50 with nelson/galaxy

smelled awesome going in.
