    So I may enter my first comp... I made a blonde ale I believe with 2 row a little Pilsner malt and honey malt... Don't bar the recipe on hand this second. But I added all late edition citra and 1/2oz of orange zest and 1/2 oz of lemon zest as well at flame out or last 5 mins I think...


    What category would this go in for bjcp guidelines? Just specialty beer cuz of the zest addition?

    6B -Blonde Ale can have fruit and/or spice as a background flavor. Your beer will probably fit that description.

    That would be 23-specialty. When the new 2015 guidelines come into use, that would be a specialty IPA.

    Good luck.
