Anyone ever try to Clone this American Wheat Ale? This year's batch is very goodah, and I am thinking that a Home Brewed version would be even better.

I just kegged this kit and its tastes great even before its completely carbonated. I think next time I will use only 1 table spoon of the lemon zest instead of two. But my god does it blow Sam Summer, the beer it's cloning totally away.
I would like the answer to this question as well, I am getting ready to brew something similar to this and have the same concern.I've been thinking of brewing this up, so i've been searching old posts......One question, it seems to be a wheat beer, but on the links to AHB recipe's they don't use a wheat yeast......Any ideas why not????
I think you could use an American Wheat like 1010. Its got a very low ester. It also got a good temp range for this time of year.I would like the answer to this question as well, I am getting ready to brew something similar to this and have the same concern.
The guy from austin home brew is on this site regularly his name is forest ask him.I would like the answer to this question as well, I am getting ready to brew something similar to this and have the same concern.
thanks for the good looking recipe! I just put this one together today, with wishful thoughts that by march when it's ready the weather outside will be deserving of a crisp refreshing summer ale.Here is my version and it is great on a hot day
