Wet hopped "Kolsch-Style" Ale

Thinking of doing a Kolsch- style but using wet cascade hops with no bittering hops at all!

Any thoughts................
Thanks

Sounds like it'll be tasty to me. I think the rule is to use approx 6x the amount of wet hops that you would use normally with dried hops.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
