HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Tomorrow is brew day. I need some assistance coming up with a hop schedule for a pale ale or india pale ale using the hops I have on hand.

Here is what the malt base looks like:
- 3.3lbs golden light liquid malt extract
- 3lbs golden dry malt extract
- 1lb American 2 row
- 1lb crystal 20L
- .5lb flaked barley

Here is a list of the hops I have on hand:
- .25oz Magnum
- 1.5oz Amarillo
- 1.25oz Chinook
- 1oz Columbus
- 1oz Centennial

I really enjoy piney, citrus, and floral hop notes. I dislike grapefruit flavors. Thanks for any help or suggestions on how to use these hops.
 
It's hard without AA's, but...

I would bitter with Magnum & Centennial

Flavor with Columbus & 1/2 Chinook

Aroma with 1/2 Chinook & Amarillo

That, or why not mix them all together and do 25%, 50%, 50% additions?
 
Here's my first thought...though, again, trying really hard to avoid grapefruit....


hops

Boil 60 mins 0.25 Magnum pellet 14.0 AA
Boil 60 mins 0.5 Chinook pellet 13.0 AA
Boil 20 mins 0.5 Centennial pellet 10.0 AA
Boil 20 mins 0.75 Chinook pellet 13.0 AA

total IBU = 34 (2.5 gallon boil)
