Projected improvements:
1) Add some piney/resin-y hops and some american "C" hops.
2) Use Galena or equivalent for the bittering addition... FWH???
3) Replace Wheat and DME with more base malt
4) Add .5# of biscuit or aromatic malt.

If anyone tries this recipe with/without changes, please post your results.

UPDATE: After 3+ weeks in the bottle, this beer is really hitting its stride. Taste is clean, firm bitter, and citrus hops.
