That should work, let us know how it turns out. If I get a chance I may well try something like that, I'd probably bump the gravity up just a bit to say around 1.065 but your version should be very quaffable. I did an American wheat which I hop bursted and I like the way it turned out, I would think an IPA type effort would be good as well. One other advantage to a beer like this is that the turnaround time should be pretty quick and since wheat beers go south quickly anyway you would want to drink them young.

Looks good to me

I agree this looks like a delicious wheat IPA, but I wouldn't call a 20% Munich beer "white", per se. Just a naming quibble.

Last summer one of the local micro's made a Hoppy Hefe, sounds just like your idea, and was totally enjoyable on a hot summer day.

Trouble is I don't think were going to get a hot day in the near future
