First impressions are that this strikes a very nice balance between the different grains; at room temperature there are no off-flavours, and the overall profile is like a massively muted orange-juice, with some spices in the background. No real acidity or astringency, just that's what comes to mind.

This sounds good, love to try it.

Curious, why US-05 instead of Wheat style yeast like WB-06?

Shooting for American wheat/rye, rather than Belgian wit.
