You wanted an OG of 1.065. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

The beer has great hop flavor and aroma. Gelatin was not added to beer to allow the wheat haze stand out. Down side was the beer had a slight grain taste to it at first, but has died down. Head retention is very good, color is great, mouthfeel is very smooth. All around great IPA.
