What beer category would this fall under?

[Cain]

Hello All!
I am brewing a beer today with leftover ingredients:
50 % American 2 row
25 % Vienna malt
25% Red Wheat
2 or 3 ounces Cascade hops
Nottingham yeast

What category would this fall under? Blonde? Wheat? Pale Ale? Just curious what to call it, thanks.

I just Googled and wheat beers in Bavaria have 60-70% wheat, US are as low as 40 to 50% so I would not call it a Wheat. The Red Wheat may give some color so maybe not a Blonde. That leaves Pale ale.

Call it BEER

Without seeing the calculated specs I'd guess it will drink more like a blonde. Depending on the AA of the cascade I don't think you'll be able to hit the IBU range for a pale ale and still get enough hop character. Plus it's not unusual to use a fair amount of wheat in a blonde. Red wheat is not actually red, it's like 2.5-3L.

A lot depends on ABV and when you add those hops but I threw all the ingredients into BrewToad and got everything (except SRM) to fall within Pale Ale specs.

The style is known as Potpourri.

That's the technical term. The layman's term is "buncha stuff thrown together."

Thank you for the responses..."House Blend" it is!

Looks like a pale ale to me, assuming your bitterness is north of 30 IBUs.
