I'm looking to make a hoppy orange wheat, but if possible, I would like to derive the orange flavor from hops only. From what I've Googled, it appears my best bets are Amarillo (resembling tangerines and apricots in my personal experience) and Citra. I've also seen references to Styrian Goldings (really?), Ahtanum, which is sometimes criticized for being too perfumey, Sorachi Ace, which I understand more closely resembles lemon, and Summit, which can also unfortunately come across as onion or garlic.
Here is my recipe-in-progress:
