Would you guys go with the standard American Hefe strain or do you have any experience using something like the California Ale yeast for a cleaner beer? Any suggestions would be welcome.
 
I think Cal Ale in a wheat beer is fine, especially since you have other flavor going on in there (eg. honey and lemon). Speaking of lemon, I recommend Sorachi Ace hops for that beer, they have a very lemony flavor. I make an american wheat for swmbo with Sorachi Ace, and it goes over very well.
