I'm sure some folks here know what kind of hops are used to give Tuborg, Heineken, and Grolsch beer their aroma and taste apart from bitterness. I would like to hear from those folks what those hops are as I am wanting to impart that aroma and taste by dryhopping my brew...

TIA!

They are simply not dry hopped.
 
I know. They nonetheless use some kind of hops for aroma/taste unknown to me and it is the type/name I am asking about, not how they use it.
Anything noble will get you into the direction of the European lager taste. Saaz, Perle, Mittelfrüh and so on...

It wasn't until I became very serious about the elimination of oxygen in my brewery that I started getting qualtity hop flavor and aroma out of 90, 60, and 20min hop additions. Now that I know how to do that, I seldom have a hop addition after 20min in any of my lagers--unless I'm whirlpooling, but that's an entirely different sorta lager than the examples you cite.
