Notes

This recipe is a clone of the Three Floyds Gumbalhead American pale wheat ale.

Adjusted hop schedule to:
0.5 oz 60 minutes
0.5 oz 30 minutes
0.5 oz 15 minutes
0.5 oz 0 minutes
1.0 oz dry hop

Set boil size to 3 gallons. For a 3 gallon boil, use 2 lb LME wheat for boil, in addition to steeping grains, to achieve 35 IBU for Gumbalhead. Add remaining LME after boil to keep SRM in 3-6 range.

I've never tried the original so can't give a comparison, but I can confirm that this is a delicious beer after only two weeks in the bottle - very, very lemony, very refreshing, dangerously easy drinking.
