Dank Lemon Drop Pale Ale Recipe

I'm working on an experimental Pale Ale to highlight the lemon drop hop. I've made a few wheat pale ales and think this could work well here. This will be my first time using honey malt. What are your thoughts on this recipe?

I like it. I am going to do something similar but thinking about trying out el dorado in place of the citra

I think El Dorado could work great here as well. Keep me updated!
