The color is a little dark for the style. However, this beer is cheap and really tasty. If you need to make a quick, easy, very drinkable house beer, then this is it. I keep this beer on tap with a couple of others. Friends drink it up!

I think I'm going to make this next. I'm thinking of zesting some orange peal and throwing it on the last part of the boil and maybe a little more in the secondary.
I brewed a batch of this on March 9th and just opened and bottle last night. It is fantastic. I agree that it is a bit dark, but the flavor is fabulous and it is the PERFECT summer beer...if summer ever gets to Ohio. Thanks for the recipe. The only thing that I had to modify was the yeast. My LHBS was out of wheat yeasts so I had to pinch hit with a Windsor ale yeast. It worked just fine.
