So I've brewed about 6 beers now and a couple of them seem to have a little citrus flavor to them. The last one is a Naked Blonde Ale, tastes great with a slight citrus flavor. The other 2 like that were an American Wheat and a Amber Ale. Any thoughts?

I am not sure I grasp what you are looking for.. Do you want to know where the flavors are coming from?

what hops did you use?

Probably from the hops. Cascade is classic for citrus notes.

A lot of people aim for those citrus notes (why cascade, centennial, citra, amarillo, etc. are so popular). If you don't enjoy that particular set of flavors I would try the other noble hops which can give you floral, spice, etc. instead of citrus.
