I'm coming up with a summertime ale recipe right now, which will probably use lighter malts and lots of wheat, american hefe or cali ale yeast, and a hop combo thta will be refreshing and inviting, with a good bite, but without being bitter or calling too much attention to itself. i'm thinking any milder bittering hop will work OK (i'll probably go with a german variety), and i definitely would like to use some tettnang in the flavor/aroma department, but i want an american hop charcter too thta i think will compliment the tettnang nicely, something with some citrus, but is not ovrwhelming. i'd like a mild orangy/tangerinish sort of aroma in this hop, but i can't think of anything that will fit. any ideas...i may just use a small ammount of cascade/amarillo if i can't think of this ideal hop.
edit: i'm going for somewhat of an approximation of breckenridge brewerys summerbright ale (breckbrew.com), but i want to use a german/american hop combo, rather than their english/american combo.
