Must say, i'm pretty darn pleased with how the test samples of this are tasting.
Hoppy, soft residual bitterness and deliciously malty.

My latest AG pale ale
yeah its a bit of a mix of aspects from a few beers, i like all the cascade in LCPA obviously, and i love the way Cracken back pale ale let amarillo compliment cascade, and i love JSGA's use of amarillo as a flavour hop. I also enjoy the addition of wheat malt that i think i can taste in LCPA and in CPA, gives it some malty body (i think) that is lacking in a lot of beers.
The name i thought up while sitting in Northies in cronulla, and watching all the jerks getting around in tight pink shirts, and thought, hey my pale ale will be a bit fruity too

good one.Thats a fair bit of MO, wouldn't think that amount of wheat would be noticed in that recipe? I find MO a great grain but a bit overpowering in large quantities. When you say "test samples" how far along is this brew?
This recipe looks like something I would be keen on, and your description raises alot of points I agree with, so the formula is there but you didn't explain the MO, why did you use it?

hey all, i am excited!!!!
This is without a doubt the best tasting beer i have made to date, i love this AG caper!!1
one other thing, it has gone from a SG of 1052 down to 1014 in 3 day's.
The activator was fairly well bulging when i pitched it and i had added yeast nutrient to the wort, and has been bubbling vigouresly way at 16 degrees. Very clean tasting and the amarillo is so deliciously fruity with the citric pine cascade on the nose, will dry hop with more amarillo and cascade.
