My buddy and I brewed this about 6 weeks ago. We finally cracked one open the other day. The key word we used after drinking it was "yummy". this is a very refreshing beer. I find that it tastes best when the weather is very hot. cheers

This beer just gets better the longer it sits.  We brewed this beer this summer and it was so refreshing during a hot summers night.  As time goes on the beer seems to get better and better.  The clarity is perfect now 2 months later.  Very tasty beer.

This beer was awesome. I will brew it each summer. Being that this was only my second batch of beer I made, I didn't put the orange peels in a muslin bag. My spout on my pot clogged. Needless to say, use a muslin bag.
