Well, thanks for all the suggestions. I bottled this tonight (and a big THANK YOU to richardt for going out of his way to give me the bottle caps I forgot...can't believe I did that!)
Tastes pretty good, not too bitter, smells very citrusy, has a nice orange/copper color, probably a bit more grapefruit flavor that I ultimately want, and may not have enough body, but it should make for a decent session beer.
Here's what the final brewed recipe was:
