Looks like nice combinations, but you're in pale ale territory. If you have extra hops on hand, I'd at least double the late hop additions and add a ounce at dry hop. If you don't have extra hops on hand, not a big deal - it'll still be a darn tasty beer.

I totally agree. If you can't get more hops today just add a 2 oz dry hop for a couple days.

Thanks guys. I do have some hops on hand. I have a half ounce of both affore mentioned hops as well as a couple of ounces of Targetand an ounce of Palisad.Should I stick with the Citra and Warrior,or should i incorparate the others?

I'd definitely use the warrior only for bittering, and you've got plenty at 60.

A combo of Target and Citra might be interesting! But if it was me, i'd probably brew it as is (definitely add that extra 1/2 oz of Citra to your 5 min adn) and then get another ounce or two of Citra after the holiday weekend and toss them in as dry hops.

I think palisade would be more in style with what you're trying to do, while using target might add some complexity (or clash, I'm not sure) I tend to think of target as a good English ipa hop - but I see you're using Maris anyway. Go with your gut!
