Galaxy/citra recipe

[stmou984]

Hi all. I am planning a DIPA hopped with citra and galaxy as the main hops. I am worried that the beer may be too fruity. I was considering another hop to mellow out these hops slightly. Perhaps simcoe? I do want a tropical fruity beer. What would you all suggest?

Here's the recipe as of now. ***Pride of Ringwood(Aus) is in place of galaxy since the ibrewmaster app doesn't include galaxy yet.

I've done a real galaxy heavy IPA, and it actually won some awards, but in my opinion is was very fruity. Knowing Citra's rep, I'd guess that using both will give you a real berry/juicyfruit taste. I'd use some Simcoe, Centennial, or a little CTZ to balance that out with some pine, citrus, dank, resin flavors.
