Does anyone have a recipe for the skinny dip?

It says its a wheat ale with cascade hops and lemon zest. So maybe 1oz of lemon zest and 2oz of cascade hops for 60mins and some malted wheat?

I am looking for an all grain recipe.

Skinny Dip is just basic wheat beer. Using 2oz. of Cascade will probably overpower the beer. Same with lemon zest, but it's all up to you. I would probably go with .5oz of cascade at 60 minutes, and .5 at 10 minutes. I would keep the lemon zest under .75oz. I've never really gotten a huge lemon flavor from it, so that seems about right to me. I've got one at home. I'll try it and get back to you with more thoughts tonight.

I don't really taste any lemon in it. The label says it has 'Kaffir Lime Leaves' which seem to be where a lot of the flavor comes from.

I am having one right now as the SO wants me to make something similar. it sure does not present as a wheat in its clarity at all. there is more of a copper color it is definitely not opaque like traditional wheats. it does however drink more like a wheat with a smooth mouthfeel and body but with a maltier character.

I need a little help in trying to determine an extract w/ grains recipe anyone with some ideas? I have the hop and lime leaf schedule down that is the easy part.

the trick here is to get the ABV of 4.2% and the calories of 114 per 12 Fl. oz.

I got this info from the new belgium website. I am new to this and would have no idea how to create a recipe, but I would bet someone here could build something close with the info here.
