------------------------------
This is a nice beer that falls somewhere on the american pale ale family or the india session ale (ISA) category. Very light body with a big hoppy nose that isn't overly bitter. The vienna is essential to the complexity of this beer, so don't substitute it. Also, reduce consider reducing the dry hopping by .5 oz as the hops slightly mask the clean base malt.
Also, different yeast strains might work well with this beer, perhaps try using a highly attenuative british strain for a more complex flavor profile (something this beer could use depending on the season you brew it ie. summer stay crisp and clean, winter get weird).
