Sorry, I didn't note (and neither did you) that this is an American-style wheat beer.
It was late and I did not check your link until this morning, so I assumed a hoppy wheat brewed with German yeast.

This revelation is a game-changer.I have brewed some very nice Yank wheat beers, and if beer styles are not inhibitive, you go for it. This style can certainly stand the IPA hopping treatment.

I recall the James Squire wheat beer of years gone by, with it's German-style yeast (WLP300, iirc) and fruity late hopping. Was a great beer and I'd certainly pay to be able to buy it again.

I will suggest that Galaxy and Topaz were overpowering together in the last one that I brewed. Now hop along...

Are you referring to the Mad Brewers Hoppy Hefe? Such an awesome beer

Simcoe instead of centennial IMO

Big fan of simcoe as a bittering hop

Mind you I avoid centennial like the plague because of that founders IPA .... Might taste good out of the tap but at my local bottleo it's rank
I love centennial and was pretty disappointed with the Founders IPA but I put it down to the bittering.
IMO centennial is a brilliant flavour / aroma hop but a bad bittering hop.
 
Sounds like galaxy , not much chop as a bittering hop but flavour/aroma it's great

I'll grab a 50gm pack of it to give it a chance
