Bright citrus flavors and a light, silky mouthfeel reminiscent of sunny days by the beach make this beer an instant Summer classic.
Noble German hops early in the boil and sweet orange peel make this beer fruity and balanced. The flaked grains in the grist form a thick, creamy head that persists through the entire glass.
A light haze should be present. If you want a clearer beer may use whirlfloc tablet for fining, last 5 minutes of boil.
