Default What would be the LEAST citrusy US hop(s)?
I want to move into a realm where I can make a fairly high IBU IPA but not get into that grapefruit/tangerine/citrus flavor/aroma.

Now of course I can go English hops, but what would be the US hops that would fit this description?

Willamette is awesome, and not at all citrusy.

Second that! Willamette is one of my favorite hops. It blends well with the citrusy hops too if you want to have some citrus without going over the top.

Willamette makes me happy in ways which are impolite to mention in public.

I'll throw in for the Willamette too. Definitely not citrusy. Sort of reminds me of fuggles (is it a hybrid?). Anyways, makes a good pairing with goldings.

I was getting tired of the same old Cascade this and Cascade that so I'm getting ready to pop a keg of Amber Ale with Willamette...even dry hopped with it.

Glacier is amazing also, pretty similar to Willamette. Some describe it as "peachy".
