Can't offer any advice as to how to recreate this beer, but I'm also a big fan of it.  As a result of this thread though, I may just take a stab at brewing my own version.  Be interested to hear how yours works out Keg.  Good luck with it.
Finally sampling my first batch of these (I only bottled one week ago today) and I'm pretty happy with how it has turned out. Great aroma and taste from the Citra and El Dorado, it's sessionable and refreshing.

This is the beer that went on tap at BrewCon as 'Tropical Wheat'. It's my second attempt at an American Wheat Ale based on the tips given here. I'm planning on playing around with the recipe (maybe some different yeasts) and brewing it again to make use of the BrewCon grains. Any feedback from those who have tried it is welcome!

I think the yeast worked well with allowing the flavors to shine
