Please troubleshoot my new IPA Recipe

[Brewer #50528]

The goal is a Dank Session IPA somewhere at or under 5% ABV.

I want more body than a pale, but not creamy. The grains are already purchased.

Questions: Which DME? Amber or lighter?

Would you re-order or change any hops? I really want this beer to be a happy punch in the face, hop-wise, like burying your nose in a three-finger bag, with a tasty finish that makes you stare at your glass and want more.

Also would appreciate yeast suggestions, as I'm really green in that area.

thanks!!

***I DON'T WANT TO USE CITRA, BUT WANT A SLIGHT CITRA FINISH, HOW MIGHT I ARRANGE THE ABOVE HOPS FOR THAT EFFECT?



YEAST: *****NEED ADVICE HERE PLEASE.



TARGET WATER PROFILE:

I use Crystal Geyser.

everything looks fine but I think the Willamette will not be noticed, the other hops will drown it out, might try replacing it with something stronger flavored but if you haven't got it it will still work
