Here is my recipe for an American Wheat I'm working on and would appreciate some input and I'm not shooting for style. I am looking for a nice Red color though, hence the name: Panama Red Wheat and the inclusion of Melanoiden Malt.

My concern is the color I'm seeing in BeerSmith is not really red so not sure how to adjust the grain bill without making this too malty

Also looking for input on the hops and schedule. I am shooting for a nice complex citrus element and I like the hops selected, just not sure how they will all blend. I am also looking for that big hop aroma with the late additions.
Thanks for looking!
