I brewed a pale ale using nugget for bittering and Citra for flavoring and dry hopping. The beer came out with a nice citrus flavor and aroma but I really wanted more grapefruit. Will the Citra play well with Cascade and give me the grapefruit/citrus that I want or would a different pairing work better?

I do an IPA that I bitter with Magnum, then Citra and Amarillo. Nice citrusy combo.
Citra can overpower a brew so I go more Amarillo than Citra. maybe 60% Amarillo and 40% Citra.

You could try centinennal as well...or even grapefruit peel
UPDATE TIME! I bottled this today (recipe: http://hopville.com/recipe/1068411/american-pale-ale-recipes/citra-cascade-pale-ale) and of course I sampled the hydrometer sample. YES!! This is what I had in mind. Nice grapefruit flavor using Citra for bittering and flavor additions with Cascade for dry hopping. I can't wait to see what it is like when carbonated and cooled.:fro:
