Default Dry hopping a Hefe???

I love aroma hops and I love Hefeweizen. I know traditionally hefe's are low in IBU's and normally use bittering hops only.

How do you think a hefe would be with extra hops at flameout and then steeped OR dry hopped in a secondary?

Trying to combine two of my favorite things.......

It wouldn't be a hefe...

I think you'd end up overpowering the banan/clove/yeast flavor and aroma that makes a hefe a hefe. I've had "hoppy hefes" before, and they're really more of an American Wheat than anything else. All the hefe character was lost - that's a pretty delicate flavor.

If it's a German-style HW I wouldn't touch it. American-style...go for it.
