Was shooting some ideas around but what do you guys think of creating a pale ale with perle hop. I will do a continuos hop schedule and plan on using 3-4ozs of hops. Also Maybe will dry hop with some perle and possibly Willamette. What do you guy think about this?

I did an all perle 6% abv, 60 IBU ale last year. It's really nice, has a very soft floral bitterness to it. I used honey malt and carapils to keep the color light.
I probably wouldn't do this recipe again at IPA strength, but it would make a really good APA. I find perle's aroma to be very relaxing. I say go for it.

+1 to go for it. I made a quasi-lager half pils, half pale malt with Perle and Hallertau. When cold it tastes pilsner like, but when it warms up some sweetness from the pale malt mixes with the hop flavor and it is more APA like.

I dry hopped 1 oz of leaf IIRC, it was good for that. I personally would go for the vienna over the munich in this case, but it really depends what you're going for.
