Sam Calagione’s Blood Orange Hefeweizen, If it's good enough for the Dogfish Head Brew Pub, then why the hell not.

I've got the recipe in a book I bought from the bar, it uses the zest and some flesh, I've always wanted to give it a try and never got around to it

I'm sure it would be easy to find with a smidge of googling
 
I have a recipe that I have made a few times based off Sam Calagione’s Blood Orange Hefeweizen, I've put my own little tweaks into it but you can tell I have pinched his idea!

Anyways I'll link you to my blog post as it's much easier then re-typing it: link to my blood orange recipe

I really suggest using a Belgian Witbier style strain, or even T58 will work well at right temps. Anyways I hope it can inspire some thoughts!
