I'm thinking of doing this next but I fancy adding more hops as I've done single hopped citra pales a few times and delicious as they are I want a change. Any recommendations as to what goes well with citra (other than amarillo, which I don't want to use this time)?
It does keep I drunk a 5 month old one as a control sample and it hadn't gone downhill markedly, it was still a good beer. it was a little less smooth and a bit harsher slightly more acidic than the earlier ones.
Well my latest cherry wheat attempt using this .....

turns out more fruits of the forest than cherry. So next time 2 bottles for 21 litres. A proper cherry beer isn't cheap :-(

I tasted my first bottle of this last night, though I took the OP's advice and added more hops - 28g of cascade at 10 minutes and another 28g of cascade dry hop. Fermented with US-05. It was only 9 days in the bottle but I'm impatient when I have a new beer to try - I needn't have worried though, it's come out beautifully - as clear as you could hope for in a wheat beer with only the mildest haze, fantastic head and head retention all the way down and the cascade really works with the fruitiness of the citra. It's delicious already and will get better with a couple more weeks of conditioning.
