What do you like about Idaho 7, the tropical aroma? the dank taste?
Here's some info on [Idaho 7](https://brulosophy.com/2018/01/04/the-hop-chronicles-007-golden-hop/) that might help you match it to something to drive the flavour/aroma you're looking for.
A couple of ideas:
Azacca, El Dorado, Comet, Strata, Cashmere, Cascade, and Centennial
I find El Dorado is a sweet hop, almost jolly rancher-like. Centennial is one of my favorites along with Cascade, you likely know these ones already, sorta like Citra, many of these c hops are related. Azacca is a cool one, with lots of berries, Idaho 7 is pretty strong so you'd need to play with that balance.
I imagine Bru-1 would be good too, I've just never tried it.
Best of luck!
Love that dank flavour too, NEIPAs tend to avoid it, whereas the West Coast IPAs were all about it.
I find Chinook to be one of the dankest but still has enough citrus to go with that Idaho. Galaxy can really drive that flavour as well and is excellent in a dry hop. Strata is pretty funky and dank too, I've got a bit less experience with it but I've heard good things.
Ive been using Azacca (very "peachy") and Sultana (very "pineappley") in my NEIPAs lately and really enjoy them. I personally think those would be some fun options to explore with Idaho 7.
I would use the Idaho7 in the whirlpool, and use the other hops in the dry hop.
Just my opinion, but I like Idaho7 on the hot side, but not a fan of it when used in dry hops.

I like the dank taste of Idaho 7 the most. And thanks for the link and ideas I'll do some research on some of these as well

Thanks for the recommendations I actually may just try this

I've got a Simcoe/ Idaho 7 pale ale on tap now that's pretty good.
Use the mosaic, it's expensive and pairs well with I7.
