After sharing my Blue Moon clone with a buddy, he convinced me to try this instead. I got some from the store, and gotta say, I agree with him....its much nicer than BM. The Hoegaarden is cleaner but still has the flavor.

did you you use fresh orange zest?

gonna brew this up soon too. looks very close to my recipe. and i agree this is MUCH better than BM. BM was my "gateway" beer into craft beers, but after drinking so much real wit, I can even drink a full BM anymore.

I used the dried orange zest from AHB. Forgot to get the ETOH boost!!!!
Dang it!

next time use the zest of 6 or 7 oranges. makes a huge difference.
