Question about aroma hopping

[koomber]

I'm putting toether a a hoppy little pale ale atm, something that crosses American hopping levels, a blonde ale and European hops; northern brewer and Styrian Goldings.

What I'm aiming for is something with a nice bite and a clue by four of hoppy flavour and aroma. But I'm not 100% sure about the hopping schedule. So far I've got this:

My concern is that the Styrian is going to completely overwhelm the Northern Brewer characteristics? Should I perhas swap the Styrian at flame out with the NB at 15 minutes. Or does this look safe enough as it is?

Maybe you could add an extra 45g of NB along with with the Goldings dry hop...

I've tweaked it a bit, changed the 15 mint NB to a 5 minute NB and upped it to 45g. It's not going to be as hoppy as it once was, but given how pale this is, I don't think it'll be a major issue.

I think this should be interesting since although it will be a blonde ale the melnoidin should give it a nice, subtle red hue.

The dry hopping is a bit up in the air. Maybe another hop? I've got some Hallertau that I could use since it seems to have a similar aroma profile to NB but it should be better. Any thoughts? (That is if the server lets someone reply )
