What went wrong? The limeade?

I've got B Saaz down in the beer I just bottled and in a American Wheat Beer.

I'm not really sure what exactly went wrong, but it might be the limeade. It just seemed way too bitter without any sweet.

Some people are really enjoying the original that I linked to in the first post, so maybe a different recipe might make it work, but I wasn't a fan of the one I came up with.

I'm thinking maybe skipping out on the zest might have helped, or adding lactose or something to sweeten it a bit.

Any other changes you would make? This recipe was up on my hit list of test gluten free beers...

Cheers

I think I may have used too much water causing it to thin out. That could by why there isn't much flavor and just bitterness.

It's still alcohol though, so it's getting turned into skip and go naked at some point in the near future I think.
