This is my first recipe and I am new to home brewing. Please forgive me if it sounds/reads like I have no idea what I am doing, it is partially true!
I am looking to create a tangerine cream ale, it has to be low in bitterness but have a tropical aroma with a decent tangerine flavor. I have not begun brewing this recipe yet as I am trying to get a well rounded recipe to lower mistakes. Well, here it is and what are your thoughts?
This is an extract brew.

Ferment for 2 weeks and 3 days @ 65ish degrees. Add dry-hop around day 7 and let dry hop for 10 days.
