Notes:
I'd say the lime is noticeable but not quite prevalent enough. I would try upping it to 2/3oz next time. I had intended to add 1oz of zest but forgot to actually zest any limes until the 10 min addition went in - so we got about 8 grams before it was time to toss it in.
All in all I'd say this recipe is great. Noticeable hoppiness in a 4.5%ABV beer. It's really been a hit with my friends during these hot Florida days we've been having.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, went from grain to glass in 11 days.
