Brewed this today. Was not my best brew day, missed target pH and temperatures. That said volumes and gravity were spot on. I also used my make shift cold liquor tank for the first time which worked a charm.
Wort and starter taste great, starter had a lot of bubble gum and citrus with a little banana and a nice tart finish.
The wort is rich and malty, lots of bready notes. It's quite dark, definitely has a red hue. I will post back with pictures and tasting notes.

The final result. The colour is a lot lighter than anticipated. The flavor prior the spieze addition was very citrus fruit heavy. Post spieze it's more classic banana and clove. It's not excessively malty either.
I like the color though!

The color and foam stand both look good to me.
A typical Hefeweizen is Pilsner and wheat, but I wouldn't be averse to using Vienna and Munich mixed with wheat malt. It gives the beer a depth of flavor and some nice color.
