I found this recipe in a book in the specialty beer style. I've never seen a recipe quite like it and wondered if you guys thought it would turn out good. Looks kinda weird, here it is:

What are your thoughts about this recipe?
 
Personally, I find the combination of citrus hops and roasted barley unworkable.
 
Yeah, that's a wierd one. Take out the wheat and I'd say you have a red with a somewhat non-traditional hop selection. But with the wheat, I dunno, I guess that's why it's in the specialty category. If you're intregued, give it a shot and let us know.
