Brandon,
That aint much to go on, but here is a seasonal, foreign-ish hybrid wheat ale I just brewed that is "Supa-fahn-tahst-eek!" I got the basic from a Sam Adams Summer Ale clone, but switched some stuff around to achieve the results I wanted.

I Contemplated adding a secondary with Sorachi Ace dry hop, but no one carries Sorachi Ace.
How does it taste? Just the hint of lemon and paradise hits the palate after the initial taste, then gives way to noble hop flavoring and finishes with the yeast and malt finale. Mouthfeel is light yet solid. Plenty of wheat chewiness and brisk pilsner. This is a fantastic beer!
