I brewed the northern brewer american amber AG recipe and now that I have it on tap I feel like it is all malt with little hop, especially when it comes to aroma. I was still dialing in my equipment when I brewed this and had to do a 90min boil instead of a 60 so I think that is where I lost my hops...

What would be a good hop to dry hop with to give a bit more nose? I'm not looking to hop bomb just balance a bit.

Amount and duration would be appreciated.

Here is the grain/hop bill.
-- 6.5-lbs-Rahr-2-row-Pale-
-- 2-lb-German-Munich-Malt-
-- 1-lb-Caramel-60-

BOIL ADDITIONS & TIMES
-- 1.5-oz.-Cascade-(FWH)-
-- 1-oz.-Cascade-(1-min)-

I'd throw another ounce of Cascade in at 20, 7 and then dry hop with 2 ounces.
 
Chinook is a good bittering hop but the aa% is much higher than cascade. Does the recipe say what the ibu is of the beer? If so, use that and a recipe calculator to calculate how much chinook you will need to reach said ibu. If you want more hop nose add in hops at flame out.
 
This is a single hop recipe, and there is no reason to change from that. Add 1 or 2 oz Cascade to dry hop in the keg. You won't be adding bitterness -- just aroma.
