Austin Homebrew Supply has a clone recipe for it, link. That might give you some ideas or just buy the recipe from them and see how you like it?

5.5G batch: This is a real basic wheat ale recipe 60% 2 row and 40% white wheat malts. Some bittering hops like Magnum or Warrior for the full boil (try .25 oz) then .75 ounce Tettnanger in the last 5 minutes. You want low IBU's perhaps in the 12-18 IBU range, so you may want to run this up in a recipe builder program. This beer is a bit lemony and slightly spicy. Add the yellow zest (no white pith) of two medium lemons and .75 teaspoon of Grains of Paradise during the last 10 minutes of the boil. If you don't have Grains of Paradise, sub the same amount of cracked black pepper.

Use US-05 as a dry or WLP 001 liquid for a neutral profile and hold at 65-68F for fermentation. This beer should start around 1.050 and finish around 1.010 to 1.012. One of my wife's favorites.

Here's my recipe. Forget where I originally got it but I have tweaked it over the years and it comes very close in flavor but a little darker than Sams SA.

45% Pilsner
35% White wheat malt
12% Torrified wheat
6% Carapils
2% Acid malt (or as required for pH)

Mash at 148F for 75 min

Boil - 60 min
1 oz Hallertauer - 45 min
Zest of 3 lemons - 15 min
1 oz Saaz - 5 min
4g Seeds of Paradise - 5 mins

Wyeast 1010 American Wheat

OG 1.047
FG 1.008
SRM 6
IBU 14

The seeds of Paradise add just a touch of spice to the lemon zest and the 1010 yeast gives it a little more character than US-05. Cheers!

Normally I'm not a fan of the SA brand, but it's always good to know there's an alternative way to brew comparably good styles. Everyone has their own tastes and favorite hops but if it's a good base recipe, a few tweaks can get yield some interesting variations.
It's cool to see what other people come up with.
