Brewing this weekend, wish me luck

Good luck and Looks like and interesting beer. Let us know how this one turns out.

Underway

How did this turn out?

it turned out really nice, well actually he and i both did a similar batch, and mine was really nice - he used too much of the white part of the zest, which gave it an unpleasant bitterness, but still drinkable for sure. in some ways its a little difficult to tell what flavours came from the zest and which were from the hops, so it might be fun to try a whole whack of citrus zest in a fairly light beer...

Sweet, I am gearing up for some summer brews and wondered if this was worth brewing....I might just give it a try! Thanks
