Will freezing citrus zest affect the taste or aroma?

I know freezing some fruits is supposed to actually improve the flavor.

When I come across the "sour oranges" at the store, I would like to be able to zest the peel and freeze it for brewing later.
 
I do that when I make squeeze oranges for fresh juice. I usually just throw it in a freezer ziploc bag and use it when I'm baking. Although I haven't used frozen zest in brewing, I know it works fine when I'm baking.
