I have never entered any beer into a competition but want to start with this wheat beer. It started out as a Belgian Wit but I started going American Wheat about half way thru and then decided to Pale Ale it. Not sure where it should be in judging guidelines. The flavor is great. Thanks for any help.

Looks like it has a bit of everything.

Best bet is probably the Specialty Beer Category.
 
Yeah that looks like the best one. It falls under a few in beer tools but none really fit the beer. I was hoping to get it into a wheat category but i went kind of crazy with it and wasn't sure how much outside a category I could get away with when judged.

Thanks for the help.
 
So I took the advice given to me and entered the beer in the Bone Yard Brew-Off for June 6th under the specialty beer category. Everyone who has tasted it enjoys it. Hopefully I will get some good advice on how to improve it.
