NEIPA Hops?

[vin8n1]

To brew a killer NEIPA, one needs big, juicy hop aromas and flavors. I have heard a few brewers describe what they call "base" or "dominant" or "banger" hops that form the structure and big flavor that the other hops can layer upon.
Examples:
Citra
Mosaic
Simcoe
Galaxy
Strata
Nelson Sauvin
Sabro
Theres probably a good reason you would be hard pressed to find a good NEIPA without one of those hops. Anyways, are there any other hops that you all would add to this list? Maybe some older hops that are fruit-forward? Any new American, Australian, or New Zealand varietals?

Some adds: Azacca, El Dorado, Idaho7.
I wouldn't put Nelson Sauvin in a list of "NEIPA Hops"...

Cheers!

^ agree El Dorado. Just finished a NEIPA with citra, mosaic and el dorado. Very tasty.

I don’t brew NEIPAs (I like my beer to taste like beer), but I do love Strata in a west coast IPA. Lotus and Bergamot are new favorites of mine, too, as far as over-the-top fruity hops go.

Vic Secret, Enigma, Riwaka, Idaho 7, Nectaron.... probably more.

Nelson should absolutely be on the list. TG is putting out a lot of killer IPA's with nelson in the bill.

Edit: also columbus makes a killer supporting hop.
