Looking for a good summer wheat

[travis22155]

What's up everyone! So I'm slowly bringing my wife around to craft beer, I'm trying to come up with a recipe for a real fruit forward citrus wheat beer for this summer. Any suggestions?

PS, I'm an extract brewer

I just made a beer yesterday that is probably close to what you are looking for. It is 65% Pilsner malt & 35% Wheat with a few ounces of fresh Sumo Citrus peel added with 5 minutes to go in the boil. Fermenting with WLP029. We will see how it turns out.

A 3 Floyd's Gumballhead clone would fit the bill. Its a little bit hoppy, but the hops are all Amarillo so very citrusy. You could also add some citrus zest at flameout if you want

Or if you want to buy the ingredients yourself, here's an all grain recipe and you can convert it to extract
