Notes

Primary 3 weeks
Bottle condition 3 weeks
Chill at least over night

Tastes pretty good. Light and refreshing. Lemon flavor is a little more prominent than expected but still good. Maybe use less lemon zest or different hops. Tastes more like a pale ale than a wheat beer probably because I only added wheat extract. Partial mash malted wheat or flaked wheat and base grain to get it more wheaty. But lemon pale ale works just as well!
