the IBU are in the IPA range, and the color is light... I'm thinking something like a Bitter Summer ale.?.?

Recipes 

the estimated SRM isn't that far below IPA...so for BJCP, you could get away with a 14B American IPA

Well I don't think Pilsner is an appropriate ingredient in an IPA nor is the dememera sugar. The Saaz hops certainly aren't.

So I wouldn't say it's a great example of an American IPA.

A Blonde IPA sounds like a great description!

I keep finding myself pushing outside the boundaries of the BJCP. How would a summer ale be categorized? Usually as a "blonde"? Such low IBU and ABV allowances in that category!

Looks like a hybrid IPA, with the extremes of both American and British versions of the style. I like it!

IMO, flavor and aroma make the beer. Depending on the strength of the hop flavor and aroma I would call it an APA or IPA. If it is not too harsh on the bitterness, APA.

I don't know what you made, but I'm wanting to make it and use a Belgian yeast in it.
